Question

Which of the following fractions is lesser than $\frac{3}{8}$ ?

• A. $\frac{5}{8}$
• B. $\frac{7}{8}$
• C. $\frac{4}{8}$
• D. $\frac{2}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{2}{8}$

All the denominators are same in the given fractions.

The lesser the numerator, the lesser the fraction for the fractions with same denominators and different numerators.

Here, we have to find the fraction lesser than $\frac{3}{8}$, i.e., the numerator of the fraction should be lesser than 3.

In the given options, we have only one option which has numerator lesser than 3, i.e., $\frac{2}{8}$.

$\therefore$ $\frac{2}{8}$ is lesser than $\frac{3}{8}$.
