yes 1/16 is smaller then 1/8 but 2/8 is 1/8 greater then 1/8 because it is pretty much 1/8 + 1/8 which equals 2/8

Yes. 2/8 is greater than 1/8

As you can see both fractions have the same denominator. You can then base the value on its numerators.

2 is greater than 1. Thus, 2/8 is greater than 1/8.

For further proof, convert these fractions in its decimal forms.

2/8 = 0.25
1/8 = 0.125

1/8 is only half of 2/8 in its decimal forms.
