Question

What fraction is greater 1/4 or 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = 0.25

3/8 = 0.375

0.375 is a higher decimal than 0.25, so 2/8 is the greater fraction.

Answer 2

Answer:

1/4 < 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator to compare.  We will use a common denominator of 8

1/4 *2/2    or 3/8

2/8 or 3/8

since the denominators are the same

2<3

so 1/4 < 3/8
