Which of the following numbers is the smallest?
1/3
3/10
2/5
3/8


Answer :

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the decimal values (upto the thousandths place)

  • 1/3 = 0.33
  • 3/10 = 0.3
  • 2/5 = 0.4
  • 3/8 = 0.375

Clearly,

  • 0.3 < 0.33 < 0.375 < 0.4
  • 0.3 is the smallest
  • 3/10 is the smallest
