Why is 1/6 greater than 1/8 but less than 1/3

1/6 is greater because it is more that 1/8 and it is less then 1/3 because 1/3 is 1/3 of a number like .33repeating would be 1/3 1/8 is less than what 1/6 would be

You can read fractions as one number divided by another. So 1/6 is equivalent to 1 divided by 6. It is then selfevident that the larger the denominator the smaller the number. If you have one cake and divide it between 3, 6 or eight people, three people will get a larger slice than 6 people sharing the same cake. And 6 people will get a larger slice than 8 people dividing the same cake.

Hope that helps! (:

The answer is 41.7 because 1.39 times 30 is 41.7
