There are a lot of fractions bigger than 2/3 and less than 3/4. There are an infinite number, in fact. Let's convert the fractions into something that will allow us to compare them. 2/3 = 4/6 = 8/12 = 16/24 = 32/48 [We just doubled the numerator and denominator progressively.] 3/4 = 9/12 = 18/24 = 36/48 [We trippled numerator and denominator first, then doubled them progressively.] Look at 32/48 and 36/48. The fractions 33/48, 34/48 (which is 17/24), and 35/48 all fall between 2/3 and 3/4 as was asked. We could keep going, too.
three quarters
three-quarters of 3-down
it is three fourths * * * * * No it is not. 12/3 = 5/3 and its reciprocal is 3/5
Two thirds are greater than three fifths.In order to answer this we have to convert both fractions into a common form to see which is bigger. To do this:* multiply the denominator (the number at the bottom of a fraction) of each fraction together to get a new 'common' denominator.* divide the new common denominator by the old denominator and multiply the result by the numerator (the number at the top) of the fraction you are converting to get a new numerator.So if we do this our common denominator is 15 (3 times 5). We can then convert two thirds in to fifteenths by dividing 15 by 3 (=5) and multiplying by 2 (=10). Thus 2/3 = 10/15.When we do this for three fifths we get: 15 divided by 5 times 3 = 9.Thus 3/5 equals 9/15.Therefore 2/3 is greater than 3/5 as 10/15 is greater than 9/15.
two thirds
three quarters
no. they are equal
Five sixths is the bigger fraction.
Three quarters.
one twelfth (1/12)
Three thirds is an integer, not a fraction.
The two fractions are both equivalent to each other.
2/3 is bigger than 1/3
One. As three quarters of twelve is 9, and two thirds of twelve is 8. :-)
it is three quarters
NO
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 3/8, or three eighths, is equal to 0.375.Expressed as a decimal fraction, 2/3, or two thirds, is equal to 0.6 recurring.2/3 is seven twenty-fourths bigger than three eighths.
