Answer: Because, the parts in 1/8 is doubled than 1/4, so, we need to double the copies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, by the below diagram,
\(\text{The one part in one copy }= \frac{1}{4}\)
\(\text{The total number of parts in one copy }= 4\)
\(\text{ The total number of parts in 2 copy } = 8\)
\(\text{ The one part in 2 copies }= \frac{1}{8}\)
Thus, the parts in 1/8 is doubled than 1/4, so, we need to double the copies.
That's why we take 2 copies of 1/8 to show the same amount as 1 copy of 1/4.
