3/4 is larger than 2/3. 2/3 is equal to 0.67, and 3/4 is equal to 0.75
Next 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 100
This 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". :)
To start with, you can set aside the fractions, and realize that you're dealing with whole numbers as well. 10 minus 4 is 6. So your new question is, what is six and two thirds minus three fourths. Now, let's get rid of the improper fraction. 6 x 3 = 18 18 + 2 = 20 Your new question is what is twenty thirds minus three fourths: 20/3 - 3/4 The lowest common denominator of thirds and fourths is 12. So, 20/3 x 4/4 = 80/12 3/4 x 3/3 = 9/12 So now we have eighty twelfths minus nine twelfths: 80/12 - 9/12 = 71/12 Simplifying this gives us 5 and 11/12ths.
it is three fourths * * * * * No it is not. 12/3 = 5/3 and its reciprocal is 3/5
2/3 of 240 = 2/3 x 240 = 2x240/3 = 160
3/2 or 1.5
the thirds is the denominator because the twos is the numerator which is on top and the demoninator is the thirds so its done like this 2/3, 3 is the denominator and 2 is the numerator. thanks i hope i helped you enough
3 fourths times 2 thirds equals 11 twelves
No. 3/4 is MORE THAN 2/3 2/3 < 3/4
12
0.6667
it's 1/12
two thirds times nine fourths equals eighteen twelfths or nine sixths or 3/2.
3/4 x 2/3 is 1/2
No, it's more because three fourths is 75% but two thirds is only about 66.6%.
(22/3) x (1/4) = 2/3
Three fourths is greater than two thirds.
no, it is 1 3/4
3 thirds = 1 8 fourths = 1 therefore 1 third is greater
