Question

What is greater 5/8 or 7/13

Answer 1

`(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

We can convert both of these fractions into decimals to see which is greater:

`5/8=0.625`

`7/13=0.53846153846`

We can say
`(5)/(8)` is greater.

Another way of finding this out is simply remembering the smaller the fraction looks, the bigger it actually is, which prevents us from having to do arithmetic with the fractions.

As a result,

`(5)/(8) > (7)/(13)`
