What is bigger an eighth or a sixth?
a sixth, think of a pie, if you divide a pie into 6 sections, and take one that is a sixth. If you divide the same sixe pie into 8 sections, one slice is one eight, and it is smaller than a sixth.

Is 1 5 bigger than 2 8?
1/5 An eighth piece is smaller *REMEMBER: The bigger to bottem number the smaller it is.*
What is greater 1sixth or 1 eighth?
The greater the denominator the smaller its value. Since eight is greater than six the value of 1eighth is lesser than 1 sixth. Another way of saying, 1 eighth is nothing but dividing 1 into eight equal parts and 1 sixth is dividing into six equal parts. Obviously the 1 sixth part will be greater than one eighth. For eg. if you share a cake equally with eight friends, the slice be will smaller than when you share equally with six friends.
