Your approach to this sort of problem is first to convert the data into it lowest fractional form. (Which it is already in this case.)
Next, find the lowest common multiple of the denominators.
6/10 and 3/8 have the lowest multiple of their denominators = 1/40.
Remember the denominator is the bit on the bottom.
So multiplying the fractions so they both have their denominator as 40.
This gives us 6/10 = 24/40 and 3/8 = 15/40.
You should find it easy to decide which of these new fractions is the larger.

What is larger two eighths or three sixths?
3/6. 3/6 reduces to 1/2 while 2/8 reduces to 1/4.
Is eight tenths larger than six eighths?
Converting them both to decimal form:8/10 = 0.8; 6/8 = 0.75. From that it's obvious which is larger.
What is three-eighths plus three-eighths?
3/8+3/8= 6/8= 3/4
Which is larger three eighths or one sixth?
3/8 = 0.3751/6 = 0.167 ...Three eights is over twice that sizeof one sixth!
What is bigger three eighths or six tenths?
You find the common denominator, with is over 80, so multiply 3 by 10, and 6 by 8. This gives you 30/80 and 48/80, so six tenths is bigger. An easier way to look at this is, 4 eigths is half, 5 tenths is half, 3 eigths is lower than 4 eigths, but six tenths is bigger then 5 tenths. Hope this helped. :)
How many eighths are in 6 tenths?
To convert tenths to eighths, we need to find a common denominator. To do this, we can multiply 6 tenths by 8 to get 48 eighths. Therefore, there are 48 eighths in 6 tenths.
What is larger two eighths or three sixths?
3/6. 3/6 reduces to 1/2 while 2/8 reduces to 1/4.
Is 6 tenths bigger than 5 eighths?
no 6/10= 3/5. 5/8= 5/8 Find common denominator 24/40 25/40 5/8 is larger.
Is eight tenths larger than six eighths?
Converting them both to decimal form:8/10 = 0.8; 6/8 = 0.75. From that it's obvious which is larger.
How many eighths are in 3 fourths?
To find out how many eighths are in 3 fourths, you need to convert 3 fourths to eighths. Since 1 fourth is equivalent to 2 eighths, you can multiply 3 fourths by 2 to get the answer. Therefore, there are 6 eighths in 3 fourths.
What is three-eighths plus three-eighths?
3/8+3/8= 6/8= 3/4
Which is greater 45 hundredths or 6 tenths?
6 tenths is larger than 45 hundredths. (0.6 to 0.45, respectively.)
What is 3 eighths of 16?
The answer is... 6
What is equivalent to 3 eighths?
6/16
Which is bigger three fourths or five eighths?
To determine which fraction is larger, you can convert them to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator would be 8. Three fourths is equivalent to six eighths, while five eighths remains the same. Therefore, three fourths (or six eighths) is larger than five eighths.
What is the answer to Reduce 6 eighths?
6/8 = 3/4
Which is larger three eighths or one sixth?
3/8 = 0.3751/6 = 0.167 ...Three eights is over twice that sizeof one sixth!
