Fraction 2 = Shaded portions / Total portions = 2/8
TO FIND-
Symbol to represent the relationship between the 2 fractions.
SOLUTION-
From the given information, we observe that-
The denominators of both the fractions are same i.e. 8.
Hence, we can directly compare the numerators as follows-
      3 > 2
∴ 3/8 > 2/8
Hence, the symbol that should be used to compare the shaded parts of the fraction models is '>'.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. '>' is the correct answer to the given question.
