5 8ths
7/8 x 5/7 = 35/56 = 5/8
7/8 * 3/7 = 3/8
5/8 is greater than 3/7.
3/7 is greater.
7/8 x 5 is 4 3/8
You can do 15 3 7ths into 14 10 7ths and then subtract 14-7=7 and 10-5=5 So 7 and 5 7ths is the answer
37/7
2 3 8ths +5 7 8ths
8+3/7 - 2+6/7 = 59/7 - 20/7 = 39/7 = 5 and 4/7
57/8 = 399/56 17/7 = 136/56 399 + 136 = 535/56 = 9 and 31/56
42/8, or 5 and 1 fourth
Try making them both into a common denominator eg. 5 8ths is also 75 120ths 7 15ths is also 56 120ths So 5 8ths is bigger.
1 and 5/7
