it’s 1/10

we know because the fractions with whole numbers are obviously too big to be the smallest so we are left with 4 options,
2/3 cannot be the smallest because it is only one away from being whole, 3/8 is not the smallest because it’s only 5 away from being whole, and 1/4 is not the smallest cause it’s only 3 away from being whole. 1/10 in 9 away from being whole making it the smallest!
