Question

What is shorter 1/8 5/16 or a half inch
Answered by oobleck
Boy, bot, you got that wrong!

take a look at the fractions, using a common denominator:
1/8 = 2/16
5/16 = 5/16
1/2 = 8/16
so, which is least, 2,5, or 8?

A half inch is shorter than both 1/8 and 5/16.

Apologies for the mistake. Correctly comparing the fractions, we have:

1/8 = 2/16
5/16 = 5/16
1/2 = 8/16

As you pointed out, 2/16 is the smallest fraction. Therefore, 1/8 is shorter than 5/16 and 1/2 inch.
