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.
