Answer: 10/16

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the answer choices are fractions with 16 as the denominator. We can compare the numerators to see which is largest. In that case it's 10, so 10/16 is largest.

-----

You can use a calculator to find the decimal value of each fraction

4/16 = 0.25

3/16 = 0.1875

8/16 = 0.5

10/16 = 0.625

and we can see that 0.625 is largest so 10/16 is largest
