Ok, imagine a cake. If you have 1/3, you cut the cake into 3 equal pieces, and take 1 piece. Now if you have 1/8, you cut the cake into eight equal pieces and take 1. The piece is smaller, so it's less than 1/3. For 1/10, you cut the cake into 10 equal pieces, and take 1. The piece is smaller than the 1/3 piece and 1/8 piece.

When it comes to 1/x in fractions, the bigger x is the smaller the fraction is, and vice-versa.
