Answer:

The paper clip that has the SMALLEST width is the blue paper clip

Explanation:

To find the paper with the SMALLEST width, we convert each clip's width to decimal

For blue paper clip

A blue paper clip is 1/6 inch wide.

1/6 inch = 0.1666666667 inch

For sliver paper clip

A silver paper clip is 3/8 inch wide.

3/8 inch = 0.375 inch

For red paper clip

A red paper clip is 1/3 inch wide

1/3 inches = 0.333 inch

For green paper clip

a green paper clip is 1/4 inch wide.

1/4 inch = 0.25 inch

The paper clip that has the SMALLEST width is the blue paper clip with a width of 1/6 inch (0.1666666667 inch)
