Well, one end of that space is 3/16, and the other end is 7/8.

But 7/8 is exactly the same as 14/16 .

So inside that space you'll find any number of sixteenths,
from 3 of them all the way to 14 of them.

If you're good at handling fractions, you'll find that all of
these measurements are in there too:

1/2
1/4, 3/4
3/8, 5,8
all the thirty-seconds, from 7/32 to 27/32
all the sixty-fourths, from 13/64 to 55/64 .

Like the oregano in the spaghetti sauce, they're IN THERE !

so, first you would need to make them have a common denominator which is 16. 7/8 = 14/16 and 3/16. If I read this right, the answer could be anything in between the two numbers. Like 4/16, 5/16, 6/16, etc.

Hope this helped you :)
