When you have your two fractions you multiply the denominators to get the common denominator. So you would do 3x5=15, 15 is the common denominator. Now you cross multiply. you do 3x2=6 then 5x1=5. Now you have 5 fifteenths and 6 fifteenths. 5 fifteenths belongs to 1 third and 6 fifteenths belongs to 2 fifths. So now you can see that 2 FIFTHS is BIGGER than 1 third.
====================================
Or you could just convert the fractions into decimal form
and see which one is bigger.
1/3 = 0.3333
2/5 = 0.4 <=== This one is bigger than 0.3333.
Yes
2/3
Yes.
of course
yes
yes
no, half of six thirds is 3 thirds also known as one. stupid
No. A fifth is bigger because the pieces are bigger, rather than an eighth would have to be cut into smaller pieces.
It's 331/3% bigger.
No. One fourth is 25% and one fifth is only 20%.
Four sixths is bigger. Since if you simplify four sixths is equivalent to two thirds. So two thirds is bigger than two fifths, just like one half is bigger than two thirds.
No if you have one fifth you have more 1 out of 5 or 1 out of 9
