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?
Oh, dude, let me break out my math skills for this one. So, one third is like 0.33333 in decimal form, and two fifths is 0.4. So technically, one third is smaller than two fifths, but hey, who's really keeping track of those tiny fractions anyway, am I right?
1/4 = 0.25 2/5 = 0.40 so 2/5 is bigger.
5/5 = 1 and 99/100 is less than 1. So five fifths must be bigger.
0.5 is bigger than 1/3
5 and 1 third divided by 2 and 2 fifths = 22/9
It isn't. 1 third=5 fifteenths 1 fifth is 3 fifteenths so 2 fifths=6 fifteenths So 1/3 is less than 2/5 by 1/15
Yes. 4/5 = 0.8, while 1/3 = 0.33333...
One third = 1/3 = 0.33333 Three Fifth = 3/5 = 0.6 Obviously Three Fifths is greater than One Third
One half is bigger than two fifths because two fifths just before 2.5 fifths which is half.
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.
A half is bigger than a third.

Yes 1/3 is bigger than 0.33
Yes. 2 fifths = 2/5 = 0.4 a quarter = 1/4 = 0.25
1 and 4 fifths divided by 1 third = 52/5
4/5ths is smaller than 1 but bigger than 1/2.
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 2/5 is equal to 0.4.Expressed as a decimal fraction, 1/3 is equal to 0.3 recurring (that is, 0.3333...)Therefore, 2/5 is bigger than 1/3.
