1/8.
Convert them both to a common denominator. Eight would be a good one.
3/4 = 6/8.
6/8-5/8 = 1/8.

Make a common denominator:
3/4 = 6/8
5/8
3/4 is greater than 5/8
3/4 - 5/8 = 6/8 - 5/8 = 1/8

3/4=6/8, and 6/8-5/8=1/8, so the diffence is 1/8. In decimals, we have .75-.625=.125. The answers are the same in different ways.

Turn it into decimals . Then, you will see which number is biggest.
3/4=.777
5/8=.625 or 62.5%
3/4 is the biggest number.
to convert from fraction to decimal you divide the lower number into the top number.
