is 3/8 bigger than 1/2?
Is 3/8 bigger than 1/2 is a question I get asked many times as a teacher.
Here's the answer and explaination.
Imagine a cake divided into 8 slices
One half is 4 slices
2 slices is one half
3 slices is 3/8
So no 3/8 is not bigger than 1/2
3/8 is smaller than 1/2
4/8 equals 1/2
