Is 1 sixth greater or smaller than 1eigth?
Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.
