Which Is Bigger ...1/3 Or 3/8?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Multiplying both by the same number does not change their relationship, but it can help you answer your question.

    1/3*24 = 8
    3/8*24 = 9

    You can also divide them out to convert to decimal fractions. Two or three decimal digits is enough to tell which is larger.

    1/3 = .333...
    3/8 = .375

    3/8 is larger
    1 1

    The bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction is in value--other things being equal.
    1/3 is 2 2/3 times the size of 1/8, but we have 3 eighths. 3 is larger than 2 2/3, so 3/8 wins.
