No. If you convert both to 15ths, 2/5 is 6/15, while 1/3 is 5/15. So 2/5 is larger. Another way to tell which fraction is larger is to cross-multiply. The fraction with the numerator which gives the larger product when multiplied by the other denominator is the larger one. So if you multiply the 2 from 2/5 with the 3 from 1/3, you get 6. If you multiply the 1 from 1/3 with the 5 from 2/5, you get five. So 6 is larger than 5, meaning that 2/5 is larger.
1/5 is the same as 2/10 so 3/10 is obviously larger.

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.

2/3 is 66 2/3 %; 3/5 is 60 % -- 2/3 must be larger!
Two third is 1/24 larger than five eights because 2/3 - 5/8 = 16/24 - 15/24 = 1/24. To check, subtract 1/24 from 2/3 and you get 5/8 (2/3 - 1/24 = 16/24 - 1/24 = 15/24 = 5/8) or add 1/24 to 5/8 and you get 2/3 (5/8 + 1/24 = 15/24 + 1/24 = 16/24 = 2/3)
