2/3 is bigger than 2/5.
To compare fractions either
2/3 = (2x5)/(3x5) = 10/15
2/5 = (2x3)/(5x3) = 6/15
10 > 6 ⇒ 2/3 > 2/5
2/5 = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
0.666... > 0.4 ⇒ 2/3 > 2/5
As the numerators (top numbers) are the same (both are 2), a direct comparison can be made via the denominators (bottom numbers):
the larger the denominator, the more pieces make up 1 (a whole) and so the smaller each piece must be
Or to put it another way:
the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction for a given numerator
3 < 5 ⇒ 1/3 > 1/5⇒ 2/3 > 2/5
Four sixths is bigger. Since if you simplify four sixths is equivalent to two thirds. So two thirds is bigger than two fifths, just like one half is bigger than two thirds.
Two fifths = six fifteenths, two thirds = ten fifteenths...
three eighths, two thirds, four fifths.
2/3 is greater.
Thirteen fifths
yes it is

No. Two-thirds is (16 and 2/3 percent) less than four-fifths.
4 fifths
no
Two fifths = six fifteenths, two thirds = ten fifteenths...
1.33
two thirds
three eighths, two thirds, four fifths.
2/3 is greater.
15 and two thirds plus four fifths = one two fiftenth
for fifths
