4/3 x 5/6 = 4 x 5/3 x 6 = 20/18 (that is, 1 1/9 or one and one ninth).
five sixths
15/24
three sixths, or one half
5/6 -1/9= 45/54 -6/54= 39/54= 13/18
five sixths is larger than a half.
Oh yes, one third is quite a bit smaller than five sixths. To compare, we can convert one third into two sixths. So five sixths is fully three sixths (equal to one half) larger than a third.
