You need to find a common denominator (the bottom number). We do that by multiplying one or both the fractions.
2/5 * 3 = 6/15
1/3 * 5 = 5/15
We multiply the first fraction with 3 and the second with 5. When we do that we end up with two equal denominators. Now you can just look at the two fractions and find the biggest one. In this case it's 6/15 because 6 is of course larger than 5.
Therefore, 2/5 is bigger than 1/3

Is one third the equal to greater then or less than two fifths?
One third is greater than two fifths.
Is one third bigger than two fifths?
To determine if one third is bigger than two fifths, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Converting one third to fifteenths, we get 5/15. Converting two fifths to fifteenths, we get 6/15. Therefore, two fifths (6/15) is indeed bigger than one third (5/15).
