In order to compare which one of the fractions is bigger, then we should put them in the same denominator and then compare the numerators together.
To put them in the same denominator we need the find the smallest common multiply of 5 and 10 which in our case is 10.
Divide 10 with the each denominator and multiply the result with their numerator.
10/5=2
2*4=8
So the first fraction is 8/10.
10/10=1
1*8=8
The second fractions is 8/10.
That means that both of the fractions are equal.
