No.

Convert both to decimal or a fraction then the comparison can be made:

  • To decimal:
5/8 = 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625 > 0.5

Thus 0.5 is not greater than 5/8

  • To fraction:
0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2

Change the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator (bottom numbers) and compare the numerators (top numbers):

lcd of 2 and 8 is 8, thus:

1/2 = 4/8 < 5/8

Thus 0.5 is not greater than 5/8
