3/8 inch is three times 1/8 inch
1/4=2/8 hence it's twice 1/8 inch

The smallest is 1/8 inch

Answer:  The smallest button is first button of size [tex]\frac{1}{4}\ inch[/tex]

and the greatest button is the second button of size [tex]\frac{3}{8}\ inch[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first button is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{8}\ inch[/tex]

Length of second button is given by

[tex]\frac{3}{8}\ inch[/tex]

Length of third button is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\ inch[/tex]

Now, make the denominator :

L.C.M. of 8,8, and 4 is 8

So, Length of third button is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{8}\ inch[/tex]

So, arrangement will be

[tex]\frac{1}{8},\frac{2}{8},\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Hence, The smallest button is first button of size [tex]\frac{1}{4}\ inch[/tex]

and the greatest button is the second button of size [tex]\frac{3}{8}\ inch[/tex]
