Three fifths is larger than two fifths. In fractions, if the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same, then the fraction with the larger top number (numerator) is larger.
Look at it another way. Lets say there is one cake, and we cut the cake into 5 equal pieces. So each piece is 1/5. Now if you were very hungry, would you rather have two slices (2/5) or three (3/5)?
I got 20/30 or 2/3
11/3
2/3 divided by 2/5 is 1.6666
2 3/5:= [(5*2)+3]/5= [10+3]/5= 13/5 in improper fraction
It is: 2/3 plus 3/5 = 19/15
3 fifths is larger. 4 tenths is 0.4 , 3 fifths is 0.6
2/3 is 66 2/3 %; 3/5 is 60 % -- 2/3 must be larger!
It is: 3/5 is greater than 1/2
2/3 is not > 4/5
two-thirds is larger than three-fifths. Proof: 2/3 = 0.6667 3/5 is 0.6 Obviously 2/3 is greater than 3/5
Three and 2 fifths divided by three fifths = 17/3 or 52/3
3 and 2 fifths = 3 + 2/5 = 3.4
1 and 4 fifths.
2 and 6/5 or 3 and 1/5
1
2 and four fifths is less than three, 2 and six fifths is greater than 3.
Well, two whole are 10 fifths, and add them to the 3 you allready have, you get 13 fifths.
