To compare the two fractions, 3/8 and 1/4, we can find a common denominator or convert them to decimal form.
First, let’s convert 1/4 to eighths. Since 1/4 is equivalent to 2/8, we can see that:
3/8 is greater than 2/8.
Alternatively, if we convert both fractions to decimals, we have:
- 3/8 = 0.375
- 1/4 = 0.25
Clearly, 0.375 is greater than 0.25.
Therefore, 3/8 is larger than 1/4.
