Answer:

to compare them, you have to get the same denominator. So you change the denominator to 24 by multipling 7/12 by 2, and 5/8 by 3. Then you have 14/24 and 15/24. This means that 5/8 is greater than 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 8 and 12 is 24

For the 1st fraction, since 8 × 3 = 24,

5

8

=

5 × 3

8 × 3

=

15

24

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 12 × 2 = 24,

7

12

=

7 × 2

12 × 2

=

14

24

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
