Is two fifteenths bigger than one eighth?
No. Fifteenths are actually smaller.
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).
What fraction is larger 2 fifths or 1 third and why?
Make them equivalent fractions with the same denominator then compare the numerators: 2/5 = 2x3/5x3 = 6/15 1/3 = 1x5/3x5 = 5/15 Two fifths is larger than one third as two fifths is equivalent to six fifteenths whereas one third is only equivalent to five fifteenths which is smaller than six fifteenths.

is 4 fifteenths bigger or is 2 fifths?
