1/8 or 1/5 or 1/6 or 1/10 any thing that is bigger than 4, (the denominator, bottom number of the fraction)

To solve this question, we need to consider numbers that are less than 1/4 (in decimal form it is 0.25).

There are indeed multiple answers to this, so let's look at few examples:

1. **Zero (0)**: Zero is a simple example that is less than 1/4. If you compare 0 with 0.25, 0 is clearly smaller, so it fulfills the condition.

2. **Fraction 1/5**: If you express 1/5 in decimals, it's 0.2, which is less than 0.25 (1/4 in decimals). So, 1/5 is another correct answer to this question.

3. **Negative Number (-1)**: All negative numbers are less than any positive number, including 1/4. Therefore, -1 is also a valid answer, as it is less than 1/4.

So, the values 0, 1/5 (0.20 in decimals), and -1 are numbers that are less than 1/4 (0.25 in decimals).
