hi

A fraction has two parts :

- numerator ( number on the top of fraction bar )

- and denominator ( number under the fraction bar )

To compare two fractions, they must have the same denominator.

When it is the case, you check for numerator.

Then, you just ask the same question you would do, as you would with two numbers.

Now what do we have here ? 8/10 and 5/10

As 10 is denominator for both , let compare numerator. we have 8 and 5

well, we both know that 8 ≥ 5 , so 8/10 ≥ 5/10
