Is 5/8 more than 11/20
5/8 is more than 11/20
If we find the lower common multiple of the denominators which is 160 then we can multiply the top numerators by the opposite denominators
5x20=100
11x8=88
We now have
\(\frac{100}{160} and \frac{88}{160}\)
The one on the left is simplified to 5/8 and the right is simplified to 11/20
Yes, because in order for 5/8 to have the same denominator as 11/20, you multiply 5 and 8 by 2.5, which equals 12.5/20.
