The best strategy to compare them is to express them as a percentage

  • Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers.

Given the fractions 2/6 and 5/8, to compare both fractions, we will express them as percentages as shown:

  • 2/6 100 = 200/6 = 33.3%
  • 5/8 100 = 500/8 = 62.5%

Since the fraction with a higher percentage is 5/8, hence 5/8 is greater than 2/6. The best strategy to compare them is to express them as a percentage
