In a nutshell, the answer is no.
Fractions that have the same value as decimals are equal to each other.
They can be when the fraction you're talking about is a greater number than the decimal. For example...
Fractions are not-yet-calculated division statements. 3 divided by 5 is the same as 3/5 which is equal to 0.6 because 3 divided by 5 is 0.6.

I Think Decimals Are Better Than Fractions
Because that it s harder to work out percentages than fractions and decimals
Yes providing you change the fractions into decimals or change the decimals into fractions
To compare decimals: look at the highest-order digit and compare. If it is the same, look at the next digit, and so forth. Thus, 23.5 is greater than 11.4 (because the tens digit is greater), 123.88 is greater than 25.82 (because the second number has no hundreds digit, so you can take it to be zero), 115.28 is greater than 113.99 (the first two digits are equal, so you compare the third digit). To compare fractions: use a calculator to convert to decimals, then compare. Alternately, you can convert to a common denominator, then compare the numerators.
When you convert the fractions into decimals, you get .8 and .6666666... for 4/5 and 2/3, respectively. Since .8>.66666... 4/5 is greater than 2/3.
