consider a pizza
if cut into 3 equal slices, they are bigger than if it were cut into 6 slices.
Similarly , slices of 1/8 are smaller than 1/6
The denominator indicates how many parts are created out of the whole, so the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

Imagine three identical pizzas.
One is cut into 6 equal sized pieces.
One is cut into 8 equal sized pieces.
One is cut into 3 equal sized pieces.
Which pizza has the largest size piece? Which has the smallest?
If necessary, draw these on a piece of paper.

Why is one sixth greater than one eighth but less than one third???

it is pretty simple
Bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction
6 is less than 8 so 1/6 is greater than 1/8. And 3 is smaller than 8 so 1/3 is greater than 1/8
Bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction
6 is less than 8 so 1/6 is greater than 1/8. And 3 is smaller than 8 so 1/3 is greater than 1/8
