Question

Why is 6/8 greater than 5/8 but less than 7/8?

Answer 1

Because if you draw a three pies and cut all of them into 8 pieces and shade 6 in one, 5 in the other, and 7 into the last one, you will see that there is a bigger piece shaded in the one with 6 shaded than the pie with 5 shaded. And less shaded than the one with 7 shaded. Hope I helped :)
