Answer: Is 5/8 greater than 6/10? Is 5/8 bigger than 6/10? Is 5/8 larger than 6/10? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

5/8 = 0.625

6/10 = 0.6

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.625 is greater than 0.6.

Therefore, 5/8 is greater than 6/10 and the answer to the question "Is 5/8 greater than 6/10?" is yes.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

5/8 is greater than 6/10 or as decimals 0.625 is greater than 0.6 because 5/8, smaller fractions are always closer to a whole number which make them more, another way to look at it is 5 is 3 numbers away from 8, and 6 is 4 numbers away from 10, which makes -5/8 greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 = 0.625

6/10 = 0.6

So Therefore, 5/8 is greater than 6/10.
