2 over 5. 1/3 = 33% 2/5 = 40%
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.

Yes, it is. It is larger by 1/6.

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.
1/5 is the same as 2/10 so 3/10 is obviously larger.

Yes, it is. It is larger by 1/6.
3/5 is larger than 2/4
It is: 3/5 is greater than 1/2
6/5, 6/4, 6/3, 6/2, 6/1, 5/4, 5/3, 5/2, 5/1, 4/3, 4/2, 4/1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/1. This represents 15 of 36 possibilities, the odds are 7/5 against.
Larger
2/3 is 66 2/3 %; 3/5 is 60 % -- 2/3 must be larger!
3/5 = 6/10, 1/10 larger than 1/2
