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
