Yes, five sixths is definitely greater than three eighths. We can prove this by changing the fractions to share a common denominator (ie. the number at the bottom of the fraction is the same for both)
If we use a denominator of 24, which can be divided by both 6 and 8, we can determine which of the fractions are bigger.
So, if we multiply 6 x 4 to get 24, we must also multiply the numerator (5) by 4.
5 x 4 = 20
-------------
6 x 4 = 24
Now we know that with a denominator of 24, the fraction becomes twenty twenty-fourths.
We now multiply the 8 x 3 to get 24, doing the same to the numerator of that fraction (3).
3 x 3 = 9
--------------
8 x 3 = 24
Now we know that with a denominator of 24, the fraction becomes nine twenty-fourths.
So, which is bigger?
20 9
--- > ---
24 24
