To compare the fractions \( \frac{5}{8} \) and \( \frac{3}{4} \), it's helpful to express them with a common denominator.

1. The fractions are \( \frac{5}{8} \) and \( \frac{3}{4} \).
2. The least common denominator (LCD) for 8 and 4 is 8.

Convert \( \frac{3}{4} \) to have the same denominator as \( \frac{5}{8} \):

\[
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{6}{8}
\]

Now, compare \( \frac{5}{8} \) and \( \frac{6}{8} \):

\[
\frac{5}{8} < \frac{6}{8}
\]

So, \( \frac{5}{8} \) is **less than** \( \frac{3}{4} \).
