5/8 is greater then 7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 8 and 12 is 24

For the 1st fraction, since 8 × 3 = 24,

5/8=5x3/8x3=15/24

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 12 × 2 = 24,

7/12= 7x2/12x2=14/24

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

15/24>14/24 or 5/8>7/12
