Answer:

1/2 > 3/8

Explanation:

To compare the answers, we need to change them to the same denominator.

2x4=8

So we can create an equivent fraction of 1/2 by dividing both numbers by 4:

1x4=4

2x4=8

1/4=4/8

Now we are comparing 4/8 and 3/8, and we can see clearly that 4/8 is greater than 3/8 because 4 is greater than 3.

Hope this helped!
