Four-eights (4/8) would be one-half (1/2) when reduced. Three-fourths is bigger than one-half (e.g. four-eighths). Try it out! Take a piece of paper, write on it 8ths, and fold it into 8 equal pieces. Rip off 4 of the parts, and set that piece aside. Now, take another piece of paper, write on it 4ths and fold it into 4 equal pieces. Rip off 3 of the parts. Now you can compare the 2 pieces you ripped off to see which is bigger.

No. 4/8 reduces to 1/2, and 1/2 is larger than 1/3. If we convert everything to sixths, then 1/3 would be 2/6 and 1/2 (4/8) would be 3/6.
