Answer 4

\[5/8=0.625\]
\[7/12=0.583\]
so 0.625 is greater than 0.583
so \[5/8>7/12\]

Answer 5

sidsiddhartha is correct...you can either turn the fractions to decimals, or give them a common denominator and compare them.

decimal form:
5/8 = .625
7/12 = .583

or common denominator
5/8 = 15/24
7/12 = 14/24

either way, you get the same answer
5/8 > 7/12
