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?

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).
1/4 = 0.25 2/5 = 0.40 so 2/5 is bigger.
0.5 is bigger than 1/3
5/5 = 1 and 99/100 is less than 1. So five fifths must be bigger.
5 and 1 third divided by 2 and 2 fifths = 22/9
