how do i know which is greater or less?

wich fraction is less than 5/8

To determine which fractions are less than 5/6, you can compare the numerators (the numbers on top) and denominators (the numbers on the bottom) of each fraction. Here's how you can do it:

1. Convert each fraction to have a common denominator:
- The common denominator is 6 for all the fractions.
- Multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the same number to get the common denominator.

2. Compare the numerators of each fraction to determine which is smaller:
- The fraction 2/5 has a numerator of 2.
- The fraction 1/12 has a numerator of 1.
- The fraction 25/40 can be simplified to 5/8, which has a numerator of 5.
- The fraction 10/20 can be simplified to 1/2, which has a numerator of 1.
- The fraction 8/9 has a numerator of 8.

3. Compare the numerators to 5 to see which fractions are less than 5.
- 2 is less than 5, so 2/5 is less than 5/6.
- 1 is less than 5, so 1/12 is less than 5/6.
- 5 is greater than 5. However, we need to compare the simplified form (5/8) back to 5/6.
- We can see that 5/8 is less than 5/6 because both fractions are less than 1 and 5/8 is closer to 0.
- 1 is less than 5, so 1/2 is less than 5/6.
- 8 is greater than 5, so 8/9 is greater than 5/6.

So, the fractions that are less than 5/6 are 2/5, 1/12, and 5/8 (simplified form of 25/40).

Convert all to decimals.
