5/12 is (108 and 1/3)% bigger than 1/5 .
another way of telling what is bigger is to covert them to decimal form (at least I think it is easier)
1/5 = .20
5/12=.416 (repeating 6)
so 5/12 (.416) is bigger then 1/5 (.20)

Is 6 over 12 bigger than 5 over 6?
There are two ways to figure this out.FIRST WAY:6 1--- also equals ---12 25 1--- is clearly larger than ---6 2So no, 6/12 is not larger than 5/6SECOND WAY:Find a common denominator (bottom number).6/12 and 5/6 lowest common denominator is 12. 6/12 already has a denominator of 12, so you do not need to do anything to it. But 5/6 on the other hand...5 10--- x 2 = ---6 126 10--- is not larger than ---12 12.
