Smallest Fraction Identification
To find the smallest fraction among $\frac{3}{9}, \frac{8}{14}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{4}{9}$, we convert each fraction to its decimal equivalent and compare these values.
Fraction Decimal Conversion
Calculate the decimal value for each fraction:
- $\frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333$
- $\frac{8}{14} = \frac{4}{7} \approx 0.571$
- $\frac{5}{8} = 0.625$
- $\frac{4}{9} \approx 0.444$
Comparing Decimal Values
Arrange the decimal values in ascending order:
$0.333 \lt 0.444 \lt 0.571 \lt 0.625$
The smallest decimal value is $0.333$.
