Use the benchmark 1/2 and the fractions 1/8 and 5/8 to write three comparisons statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following fraction

½, ⅛ and ⅝

Notice that both the ⅛ and ⅝ have the same denominator, so let make ½, also have a denominator of 8, by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 4

So we are going to have,

1×4/2×4=4/8

Note, this doesn't change the value of the original number.

Then, the three fractions becomes

4/8, ⅛ and ⅝

Now, using the numerator to know which number is bigger we notice that numerator 5 is greater numerator 4, and also numerator 4 is greater than numerator 1

Then, conclusion

⅝>4/8>⅛

Then, ⅝ is greater than 4/8 and 4/8 is greater than ⅛ and this implies that ⅝ is greater than ⅛

The three comparison are

1. ⅝ > 4/8

2. 4/8 > ⅛

3. ⅝ > ⅛
