To compare two fractions, convert both fractions to a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 40.

7/8 is larger than 4/5.

We can demonstrate this in several ways.

In decimal 7/8 is 0.875 while 4/5 is 0.800.

In fractions 7/8 is equivalent to 35/40 while 4/5 is 32/40.

7/8 is 1/8 less than 1, while 4/5 is 1/5 less than 1. We know that 1/8 is smaller than 1/5, so 1 minus 1/8 is more than 1 minus 1/5.
