Simple math. Use a common denominater 5x8=40.....1/5 = 8/40 3/8=15/40 thus 3/8 is 7/40 larger than 1/5

Actually, 3/8 is really greater

1/5 is bigger. I know it might be weird, since people are taught that the bigger number is the better value, but with fractions, the smaller the denominater, the bigger the piece is and the better chance it has of getting to a whole number. Do you understand? Hopefully this helps. : )
