Answer: Its actually not. (maybe a typo)? The real bigger one is 5/8
Step-by-step explanation: So your question is "how much more is 1/8 than 5/8?" . The answer is its not. Lets do a example to help clarify. This is the butterfly method. this is by far the simplest way to compare fractions. Lets say your problem is " which is more, 5/8 or 3/4." the first thing you need to do is line them up like so:
5 3
_ _
8 4
The second thing to do is multiply the opposites.
5 3
_ _
8 4
You would be multiplying 8*3 and 5*4 so like across or whatever.
put the answers on the equation like so,
20 24 <- Which ever in the top is bigger that would be 24. Which is 3/4
5 3 ______________________________/
_ _
8 4
3/4 is bigger in this problem.
Hope I helped!
