Yes 4/5 is alot larger than 1/3.

Do your math - think about a 1 cup measuring cup if you divided the cup into 3 equal sections and only filled one section you would still have alot to fill correct? Now take that same cup and divide it into 5 equal sections and fill up 4 of those sections you would not have much more before it was full.

Does that make sense?

Is one third fifths bigger than?

When you have your two fractions you multiply the denominators to get the common denominator. So you would do 3x5=15, 15 is the common denominator. Now you cross multiply. you do 3x2=6 then 5x1=5. Now you have 5 fifteenths and 6 fifteenths. 5 fifteenths belongs to 1 third and 6 fifteenths belongs to 2 fifths. So now you can see that 2 FIFTHS is BIGGER than 1 third. ==================================== Or you could just convert the fractions into decimal form and see which one is bigger. 1/3 = 0.3333 2/5 = 0.4 <=== This one is bigger than 0.3333.
