9/8 is the Pythagorean whole tone, measuring approximately 203.9¢. It can be arrived at by stacking two just perfect fifths ([[3/2|3/2]]) and reducing the result by one octave. However, it is also a relatively low overtone in its own right, octave-reduced. It can be treated as a dissonance or a consonance, depending on compositional context. | 9/8 is the Pythagorean whole tone, measuring approximately 203.9¢.
