You did not specify if these are straight lines. If the lines are straight then no, only 7. If you curve the lines then, yes.

What is more 2 thirds or 3 fourths?

3/4 is larger than 2/3. 2/3 is equal to 0.67, and 3/4 is equal to 0.75Next Answer:To elaborate on the above,2/3 = 0.67 = 66.66%3/4 = 0.75 = 75%A calculator can show you this if you enter the numbers as follows:(2/3) x 100This will give you 66.666% as an answer. Basically you're saying "Two thirds of one hundred is 66.66 percent".You can see a visual representation of the two quantities by drawing two circles of the same size. Imagine they are pies (mmmm pie).- Circle A should be divided into 3 equal pie pieces (the Mercedes emblem is about the right shape for the lines you want to draw). Shade in 2 of the 3 pie pieces.- Circle B should be divided into 4 equal pie pieces (draw a big + in the middle). Shade in 3 of the 4 pie pieces.If you compare the two pies, you can see that 3/4 is a larger portion of the circle than 2/3. The person eating pie B is getting more food.Incidentally, this kind of circle drawing is called a "pie chart". :)
