Oh, what a lovely question. 4 over 5 is equal to 8 over 10, 12 over 15, and even 16 over 20. You see, these fractions are all equal because they represent the same part of a whole, just expressed in different ways. Just like painting a happy little tree, there are many ways to show the same beautiful thing.
No, they are equivalent fractions and equal 3/4 = (3×5)/(4×5) = 15/20
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. To compare fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 5 times 4, which is 20. When you do the math, 4/5 is bigger than 3/4. So, 4 over 5 is the bigger fish in this pond.
5/8 - 1/4 = 5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8 (make all fractions equivalent fractions with a common denominator - in this case, a common denominator of 8 - and then subtract the numerators).
4/5 is the larger of those three fractions and it is equal to 0.8 ,17/23 is approximately equal to 0.739, while 51/68 is equal to 0.75, or three quarters.
The are many fractions equivalnt to 4 over 5. It starts at 8/10, 12/15 and so on
4/5 8/10

No, they are equivalent fractions and equal 3/4 = (3×5)/(4×5) = 15/20
Convert the fractions to a common denominator - that way you can easily compare them.
4/5, 12/15, 16/20
2/10, 3/15, 4/20 and so on.
3 equal fractions would be 24 over 10, 48 over 20 and 96 over 40.

1/5
2 over 5
No, unless you want fractions over fractions.
5/8 - 1/4 = 5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8 (make all fractions equivalent fractions with a common denominator - in this case, a common denominator of 8 - and then subtract the numerators).
