Yes, 3/5 is bigger than 1/2.
Convert to equivalent fractions with the same denominator then the numerators can be compared:
3/5 = (3×2)/(5×2) = 6/10
1/2 = (1×5)/(5) = 5/10
6 > 5 → 6/10 > 5/10 → 3/5 > 1/2.

There are infinite numbers like this but 3 over 5, 3 over 6 and 3 over 7 are smaller than 3 over 4 and bigger than 3 over 8.
1 over 2 is 0.5 3 over 8 is 0.375 1 over 2 is bigger Edit: yes 1/2 is greater 1/2 is half (0.5) 3/8 is less than half (0.375) you can also find it by using fractions 1/2 > 3/8 4/8 > 3/8 This question was answered by someone else who must have forgotten to send it off.
no it is not. 5 is biggr than three. 5 over 8 is bigger
three quarters it one quarter or a fourth larger than one half
3 over five 2/3 = 10/15, and 3/5 = 9/15. 2 over 3 (10/15) is obviously bigger than 3 over 5 (9/15).
