Answer: no they are not

Step-by-step explanation: while if you like divide 5 by 8 you get 0.625, but you do  3 by 4 than you get 0.75.

Answer:

3/4 is actually greater than 5/8, not equal to.

Text Answer

To see if the two fractions are equivalent, it's best recommended that we change the denominators to a common integer to see if they have the same numerator. A integer that is shared by both four and eight is sixteen, so you would need to multiply the denominators by a integer that would equal to sixteen, and then multiply the numerators by that same integer to find out its new value. In this scenario, four is multiplied by four to get sixteen and eight is multiplied by two to get sixteen as well. Next, multiply three by four and five by two to find out the numerators for the fractions. The fractions should now be twelve-sixteenths and ten-sixteenths. The last step is to compare the numerators to see if one is less than, greater than, or equal to the other.

3/4 ? 5/8  

(4 · x) = 16  ?  (8 · x) = 16

(3 x 4) / (4 x 4) = 12/16  ?  (5 x 2) / (8 x 2) = 10/16

12/16 ? 10/16

12 > 10, ∴ 3/4 > 5/8
