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.
one-seventh one-eighth one-ninth etc.
No. Fifteenths are actually smaller.
1/5 An eighth piece is smaller *REMEMBER: The bigger to bottem number the smaller it is.*
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.

No. A fifth is bigger because the pieces are bigger, rather than an eighth would have to be cut into smaller pieces.

It isn't bigger. It is smaller by one sixth.
1/2

If you have a fraction wall you will see that one quaurter is bigger than a sixth so yes one sixth is smaller...
yes bc if you divide a circle in eight it would have smaller spaces, if you divided it into 6 you would have larger spaces, which is bigger, but besides what 1/6 is still bigger because its closer to 1

No sixth sevenths is bigger :D hope i help
