Question. 8
Which of the following fractions is the smallest?
(A)
\(\tfrac{7}{8}\)
(B)
\(\tfrac{9}{8}\)
(C)
\(\tfrac{3}{8}\)
(D)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:
- All fractions have the same denominator: \(8\).
- When denominators are the same, compare only the numerators.
- Numerators here: \(7\), \(9\), \(3\), \(5\).
- The smallest numerator is \(3\).
- So the smallest fraction is \(\tfrac{3}{8}\) → option C.
