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.
Seven fifths is written as an improper fraction- one where the numerator is larger than the denominator- as 7/5. It is written as a mixed number- a number with an integer and a fraction- as 1 and 2/5.
let say for example you have 7 fifths. There are 5 fifths in a whole. You still have two fifths remaining and therefore the fraction becomes 1 and 2 fifths (1 2/5).
six and four fifths, or thirty four fifths for top heavy fraction
5 and 1 third divided by 2 and 2 fifths = 22/9

(1/3) of (3/5) = 1/5
1/3 is the same as 5/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 5 2/5 is the same as 6/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 3 6/15 is larger than 5/15 so 2/5 is larger than 1/3. 2/5 is larger than 1/3.

1 and 4 fifths divided by 1 third = 52/5
It is 1.
six and four fifths, or thirty four fifths for top heavy fraction
It is 1.2
5 and 1 third divided by 2 and 2 fifths = 22/9
To find one-third of three-fifths as a fraction, you multiply the two fractions together. This gives you (1/3) x (3/5) = 3/15. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3, gives you 1/5. Therefore, one-third of three-fifths is equal to 1/5.
Three fifths is larger than two fifths. In fractions, if the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same, then the fraction with the larger top number (numerator) is larger. Look at it another way. Lets say there is one cake, and we cut the cake into 5 equal pieces. So each piece is 1/5. Now if you were very hungry, would you rather have two slices (2/5) or three (3/5)?
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 11/15 - 2/5 = 1/3 or one third.
