Yes: To determine whether one fraction is larger than another, all you must do is make the denominators equal and then compare the numerators. For this situation, 2/3 can be multiplied by 2/2 to equal 4/6, and 1/2 can be multiplied by 3/3 to equal 3/6. From this, we see that 4/6 is greater than 3/6 as 4>3. Note that 2/2=3/3=1, and as such can be used as a means of setting the fractions' denominators equal to each other.
