"1 over 3" is less than "2 over 3".

"1 over 3" is really 1/3 or about 0.33

"2 over 3" is really 2/3 or about 0.67

So, "1 over 3" is less than "2 over 3".

1/3 < 2/3

0.33 < 0.67

Think about it like this: You have three apples. You give one apple to one friend and you give two to another friend. Which friend has more apples?

Friend 1 has 1 out of 3 apples. 1 out of 3 apples = "1 over 3" = 1/3 = 0.33

Friend 2 has 2 out of 3 apples. 2 out of 3 apples = "2 over 3" = 2/3 = 0.67
