What is two thirds of three fifths of 60?
The answer is 24
Which is greater two thirds or three fifths?
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.
What is four fifths plus eight tenths?
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 4/5 + 8/10 = 1 3/5 or one and three fifths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 1.6.
Is four fifths greater than three fifths?
Yes - expressed as a decimal, 4/5 is equal to 0.8, while 3/5 is equal to 0.6.
Is three fifths equivalent to two thirds?
if you give 3/5 and 2/3 common denominators then they are 9/15 and 10/15 respectively. so, no.
