Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 8:
LCD = LCM(3, 8) = 24
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (24):
8 is less than 9 (8 < 9)
As a result,
1/3
and 3/8
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 8:
LCD = LCM(3, 8) = 24
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (24):
1/3
= 8/24
and 3/8
= 9/24
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:8 is less than 9 (8 < 9)
As a result,
8/24
is less than 9/24
Therefore, 1/3
is less than 3/8
, 1/3
< 3/8
