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] ?
Six and two thirds divided by seven eighths = 713/21
You multiply the two fractions.
three eighths, two thirds, four fifths.
Yes, two thirds (2/3) and six ninths (6/9) are equivalent. When you simplify six ninths by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3, you get two thirds. Therefore, both fractions represent the same value.
four eighths, which simplifies to one half.
Six and two thirds divided by seven eighths = 713/21
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.
You multiply the two fractions.
six ninths is equivalent to two thirds
20 thirds
Two thirds.
three eighths, two thirds, four fifths.
2/8 x 6/3 is 1/2 or 0.5
2/3 plus 6/8 = 17/12 in its simplest form
Two thirds and eight twelves
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
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.
