-5 is greater since it is closer to 0

Let's look at why:
Say Peter has marbles, and John has "-8". If Peter gets 10 extra marbles, and John gets 10 extra marbles, who will have the most marbles? That's right!
That means Peter technically has more marbles, because he owes less! So the closer a negative number is to zero (or the less you owe), the more you "have".
an odd number greater than 5 but less than 8 = 7
5 8 is greater than 3 8.
10
8
11 because 8 is more that 5. I was taught to "find the number, look next door, 5 or greater add one more." You're number is 0. 8 is next door. It's greater than five, so you add a 1.
9
5/8 is greater.
-1
It is 4 because .8 is greater than .5
8
If it is a fair spinner, then 3/8
Divide a number line into eight segments and label each one in eighths. 5/8 will be to the right of 3/8.
LCD(5, 8) = 40.So 3/5 = 24/40 and 5/8 = 25/40. The second fraction, that is 5/8, is greater.
The LCM of 8 and 5 is not greater than 100.
No number greater than 5 ending in 2, 4, 5, 6 or 8 can be prime... ...oh, and neither is 4!
The LCM of 8 and 15 is 120. If the lesser number were a factor of the greater number, the LCM would be the greater number.
