The way I was taught in 5th grade was to use a common denominator.
So 5/8 =15/24 and 4/6 = 16/24.
Therefore 4/6 is 1/24 more than 5/8.
I’ll take your word for it. I could of used you sitting next to me in 5th grade. But if you were to answer in that way instead of how the work book directs, you get a big fat “Wrong” from the teacher.
Well met.
