The problem asks to find which fraction makes the comparison true, given as:

\[
\text{Which fraction } \Box \text{ makes } \Box < \frac{4}{8}?
\]

The visual model shows two bars with 8 squares each, representing eighths. The correct answer should be a fraction that is **less than** \( \frac{4}{8} \), which simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2} \).

Let's analyze the choices:

1. \( \frac{7}{8} \) – This is greater than \( \frac{4}{8} \), so it's not correct.
2. \( \frac{3}{8} \) – This is less than \( \frac{4}{8} \), so it satisfies the condition.
3. \( \frac{5}{8} \) – This is greater than \( \frac{4}{8} \), so it's not correct.
4. \( \frac{4}{6} \) – This is approximately \( \frac{2}{3} \), which is greater than \( \frac{4}{8} \), so it's not correct.

The correct answer is **\( \frac{3}{8} \)** because it is the only fraction that is less than \( \frac{4}{8} \).
