No, because one piece of of a whole (total of three pieces), determines that the pieces are going to be bigger than if a whole had to be divided into 8 pieces. Three smaller pieces out of the whole of 8 just doesn't equal the same amount as one large piece of of 3.

Is three eighths larger than one third?
3/8 x 3/3 = 9/24 1/3 x 8/8 = 8/24 yes 3/8 is 1/24 larger than 1/3
Is 3 over 8 bigger than 1 over 3?
yes In order to compare the size of 3/8 with 1/3, we can convert them both to 24ths. So 3/8 = 9/24 and 1/3 = 8/24. Aha, I see that 9/24 is larger than 8/24, therefore 3/8 is indeed larger than 1/3.
What is larger one fourth or three eights?
1/4=2/8 so 3/8 is larger than 1/4
Does 3 over 8 equal a quarter?
No, 3/8 does not equal 1/4. 1/4 is equivalent to 2/8, so 3/8 is larger than 1/4.
Is one third bigger then three eights?
Let's start by multiplying 3 by 8. The answer is 24. (Both 1/3 and 3/8 can be expressed as 'so many' 24ths). So, 3 into 24 is 8, so 1/3 is the same value as 8/24 8 into 24 is 3, so 3 x 3 is 9/24. It turns out that 9/24 is larger than 8/24, therefore, 3/8 is slightly larger than 1/3. 1/3, we know (from memory), = 0.333 while 3/8 (from memory) = 0.375 proving that 3/8 is larger than 1/3.
What fraction is larger 38 or 13?
Assuming the question concerns 3/8 and 1/3. 1/3 is the same as 3/9. So 3/8 is larger than 3/9 since the numerators are the same but the second denominator is bigger.
What is larger 1/2 x (2 1/4 - 3/8) or (2 1/4 - 3/8) divided by 6?
10001/999900
Which fraction is larger three thirds or eight ninths?
eight ninths = 8/9. Three thirds = 3/3. Get the same denominator: 3/3 = 1/1 = 9/9. Now compare the numerators of 9/9 and 8/9. So 8/9 is smaller (3/3 is larger)
What is larger two eighths or three sixths?
3/6. 3/6 reduces to 1/2 while 2/8 reduces to 1/4.
Is 2 over 7 larger than 3 over 8?
No, 3 over 8 is larger
Is two eighths larger than three sixths?
No, 2/8 = 1/4 while 3/6 = 1/2 Accordingly 3/6 is greater than 2/8
Which is larger -3 or -5?
2
