One-eighth is bigger than one-twelfth. Both of these figures are fractions and represent parts of a whole. When comparing fractions, if the numerator remains the same, any fraction with a larger denominator is smaller. Twelve is larger than eight, hence, one-eighth is the bigger fraction. so its 1/8
