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

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

Explanation:

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.
