Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the 2 fractions we require them to have a common denominator

The lowest common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40

Multiply the numerator/ denominator of the first fraction by 8

Multiply the numerator/ denominator of the second fraction by 5, that is

$\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{4(8)}{5(8)}$ = $\frac{32}{40}$

$\frac{3}{8}$ = $\frac{3(5)}{8(5)}$ = $\frac{15}{40}$

$\frac{32}{40}$ > $\frac{15}{40}$, hence

$\frac{4}{5}$ > $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer 2
