Any value between $3/16 and 14/16$

or any value between $6/32 and 28/32$

Change the fractions to the same denominator before you can compare them.

$3/16 and 7/8 rArr 3/16 and 14/16$

Now pick any value of the numerator between $3 and 14$

like: $4/16, 5/16, 6/16 ..... 11/16, 12/16, 13/16$

You could give yourself even more options if you use a bigger common denominator, like 32.

$3/16 and 7/8 rArr 6/32 and 28/32$

Now choose any value between $6 and 28$ to use for the numerator.

$7/32, 8/32, 9/32, ..... 25/32, 26/32, 27/32$

There are infinitely many fractions you can choose by use a bigger denominator.
