Answer:
Yes, 1/4 is bigger than 1/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, look at it this way.
1/4, the number 4 has bigger parts than 8. The denominator in 8 has smaller parts. I'm so bad at explaining, but 1/4 is bigger then 1/8.
Here's another way.
Try to get a common denominator. You have to do the same thing to the top when you do something to the bottom.
Common denominators: 2/8.
(Denominator: 8 x 2) (Numerator: 1 x 2) Now, we do not have to change the 1/8. As you can see, now we have 2/8 and 1/8. So, the numerator for 1/4 AKA 2/8 is bigger then 1/8.
I'm so sorry if you do not understand, again and so bad at explaining. It sounds like you are in a younger grade, and I understand. I hope this helps!
