greater than

Well 8 tenths is over one half, and 3 eights is less than one half so the first is bigger. In general you could convert both to decimal form and see which is biggest immediately, or you could divide one by the other and see which way gives an answer greater than one (to divide by a fraction turn it upside down and multiply) :8/10 x 8/3 = 64/30 which is bigger than 1 so the first is biggest.
