Answer 2

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which is larger, you must first find  the common denominator.

Multiply the denominators to find a common denominator:

8 x 5 = 40

Then, cross-multiply to find the new numerators:

2 x 8 = 16   3 x 5 = 15

You now have:

2/5 = 16/40    and    3/8 = 15/40

So, 2/5 is larger!
