No, 1/5 is a fair amount smaller than 5/12
1cm = 10mm So 12mm is greater than 1cm.
3/16 is less than 5/16 (8/16 is the half, 16/16 is the whole). Sixteenths are smaller than twelfths (of which only 6 are needed for the half and 12 for the whole) so even 5/16 is a smaller part than 5/12 (when considering an equivalent whole). (NB spelling of 'twelfth'.)

2/3 is bigger than 7/12.
1/8 > 1/12. When the denominator gets larger the fraction becomes smaller.

Yes, it is.
11/12 is greater.
11/12, 2/3, 6/7, 1/11, 11/1 are some examples of fractions smaller that 12

First convert to common denominators: 2/3 = 8/12 3/4 = 9/12 Which is bigger, 9/12 or 8/12? Obviously 9/12. So the fraction that corresponds to 9/12 is bigger than the fraction that corresponds to 2/3.
3/4 (12/16) is bigger then 9/16
