There's no particular reason why they SHOULD be equivalent. Let's examine their decimal values:

2/3 = 0.666

6/8 = 0.750

Can you see now that [6/8] is larger than [2/3] ?

Which one is bigger two thirds or five eighths?

2/3 or 5/8 Bring both fraction to a common denomiator of 3 x 8 = 24 Then bring the fractions to their equivalent values . Hence 2/3 & 5/8 => 16/24 & 15/24 We now compare the numerators (top numbers) Clearly 16 > 15 Hence 16/24 > 15/24 Hence it follows 16/24 > 15/24 => 2/3 > 5/8 Another method is to convert both fractions to decimals 2/3 = 0.666.... ~ 0.667 5/8 = 0.625 Hence 0.667 & 0.625 Drop the decimal points and the prefix zeroes. 667 & 625 Clearly 667 > 625 . Henceit follows that 2/3 > 5/8 As above.

Is two eighths or two thirds bigger?

2/8 or 2/3 Bring both fractions to equivaloent fractions, with the SAME denomoniator. The same denominator is 8 x 3 = 24 Hence 2/8 & 2/3 => 6/24 & 16/24 We now compare the numertors(top number). Clearly 16 > 6 Hence it follows that 16/24 > 6/24 => 2/3 > 2/8 NB 2/8 is an equivlanet fraction and can be reduced to 1/4 However it still remains as 2/3 > 1/4


How is two thirds of six nine?

Two-thirds of six is not nine. Rather, two-thirds of six is four. You can find this by realizing that two-thirds of six is the same as six-thirds of two. This equates to two times two, which is four.
