Question

What is greater 1/3 or 1/8

Answer 1

1/3 is greater. Picture a pie with nothing cut into it. Then, you cut 3 equal pieces out of it, leaving no pie remaining. So, if you take 1 piece, you have 2 pieces that you didn't take. So if you do the exact same thing, but you cut 8 pieces out of the pie and you take 1 piece, there are still 7 pieces remaining. So 1/8 is a smaller part of the pie than the 1/3, since you are cutting the pie into 8 identical pieces while with 1/3 you are cutting the same sized pie into 3 pieces. Sorry if I was confusing, just ask me if you want an easier-to-understand explanation. Also, if you pick a "brainliest" answer, it actually gives you points.

Answer 2

1/3 because u would do 1/3 and 1/8 next to each other 1x3 so 1/8 equals 3 then we do 1x8 and that equals 8 so 1/3 equals 8 then u conpare them 8>3 so 1/3>1/8
