First, find the least common multiple of 8 and 5.
8x5=40, so the least common multiple is 40.
Multiply 3 and 8 by 5.
3x5=15
8x5=40
This makes the fraction 15/40
Multiply 2 and 5 by 8.
2x8=16
5x8=40
This makes the fraction 16/40
Now, compare 16/40 and 15/40
16/40>15/40, so 25 and 3/8 < 25 and 2/5
Hope this helps
