Step-by-step explanation:
come on ! you can literally see that in the chart.
how many parts of the gray 3/8 are covered by the gray 1/4 ?
2 parts = 2/8 are clearly covered by 1/4.
2/8 is what part of 3/8 ?
it is the same question as "2 is what part of 3" ?
is 2 a quarter (1/4) of 3 ? no, 1/4×3 = 3/4 and not 2.
is 2 one third (1/3) of 3 ? no, 1/3 of 3 = 1/3×3 = 1 and not 2.
is 2 two thirds (2/3) of 3 ? ah, 2/3 × 3 = 2. that is correct !
is 2 three quarters (3/4) of 3 ? no, 3/4×3 = 9/4 and not 2.
once you have the same denominator, you can easily compare the numerators and ignore the denominators for such problems.

Answer:
in any numerical computation; numerical values can only be rational numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Any time a number is written down as a numerical value, it is a rational number. The numerical values we give to π or e or any root, logarithm, trig function, and polynomial solution are, of necessity, rational approximations to the true value. An "exact" value for an irrational number cannot be written down, so it must be approximated any time its numerical value is needed.
