To compare this numbers we need to have them both in a decimal form.

0.086 is already in decimal form.

We need to convert 1/8 to decimal by making the division between 1 and 8:


(1)/(8)=0.125

So we have to compare 0.086 and 0.125

The bigger number is 0.125 because when we compare 125 to 086, 125 is bigger.

Answer: 1/8
