4 times 4 is 16. So 4/6 is equal to 16/24. Now that the denominators are the same, we can compare the two fractions by looking at their numerators. 16/24 is larger than 15/24... so 4/6 is larger than 5/8.

5/6 is greater.

Think of it like it was a pizza.

On one pizza, there were 6 even slices. On the other, there are 8 even slices.

If you wanted more, would you want 5 slices from the first pizza or the second pizza?

Which is greater 5/6 or 5/8
