Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find a fraction less than 1/8.

To do so,we can write a fraction keeping the numerator 1 and taking the denominator any number greater than 8.

On keeping the numerator constant as the denominator increases the number goes on decreasing.

Hence, 1/9 is a fraction less than 1/8

Sample answers are 1/9, 1/10, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:
To write a fraction less than 1/8, you can keep the numerator 1 and make the denominator any number greater than 8. 1/8 is the same as one part out of 8. Imagine having many pizzas the same size, but cut into different numbers of pieces. 1 piece out of 8 would be a bigger piece than 1 piece out of 9, out of 10, or anything more than 8.
