1/8 ___ 2/16 ___ 4/24

Answer 1

`(1)/(8) = (2)/(16) < (4)/(24)`

Explanation:

Since
`(1)/(8)` is already simplified, we do not need to change it in any way. Comparing it with
`(2)/(16)`, which after simplifying is
`(1)/(8)`, we can see that they are the same. Therefore,
`(1)/(8) = (2)/(16)`.

Now. we compare
`(2)/(16)` with
`(4)/(24)`. We have already established that
`(2)/(16)` is
`(1)/(8)`, so all we have to do is to simplify
`(4)/(24)` and compare it with
`(1)/(8)`. Simplifying
`(4)/(24)`, we get
`(1)/(6)`, which is larger than
`(1)/(8)`. Therefore,
`(2)/(16) < (4)/(24)`.

Hope this helped!
