To make this comparison, you must find common denominators for both fractions. Let for be the common denominator. If we divide the numerator and denominator of the first fraction (4/8) by 2, we get 2/4. Comparing 2/4 with 3/4, the second fraction is bigger because 3 is greater than 2. Also, four eights simplifies to one half, which is less than three quarters.

Three quarters is 3/4, which is the same in value as 6/8. So, is 6/8 more or less than 5/8 ?
1/2
They are equal to each other. By reducing both of them, you get 1/2.
No. 1/2 = 4/8 is greater than three eighths.
One quarter equals two eighths. That is why it is smaller.
