Well, butter my biscuit, any fraction smaller than two thirds is fair game! That includes one half, one third, one fourth, heck, even one sixty-second if you're feeling fancy. As long as the numerator is smaller than the denominator, you're in business.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
No. Two-thirds is (16 and 2/3 percent) less than four-fifths.
It is greater than
To compare 0.6 and two-thirds, we need to make their denominators the same. Two-thirds can be written as 0.666... (repeating decimal) when converted to a decimal. Therefore, 0.6 is less than two-thirds because 0.6 is equivalent to six-tenths, which is less than six-tenths and six-hundredths.
That's only true if the fractions are "proper" fractions ... with numerator smaller than denominator. The reason is: If you take (a piece less than the whole thing) out of (a piece less than the whole thing), you wind up with a piece smaller than either of the original pieces.
There are an infinite number of fractions that are less than two thirds. Here are a few of them: 5/8 5/9 5/11 1999/3000 53/81 7/12 Decimals less than two thirds: 0.666 0.665 0.664 0.663 0.662 etc.
Yes, that's quite correct.Two thirds is four thirds less than two wholes,and two thirds is one sixth more than a half.
To compare thirtieths and two-thirds, we can express both as fractions with a common denominator. Two-thirds can be converted to thirtieths by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10, resulting in 20/30. Since 1/30 is less than 20/30, it follows that thirtieths are indeed smaller than two-thirds, not greater. Thus, thirtieths are not greater than two-thirds.
It is less than two thirds.
Two-thirds is .666666666....... (infinite decimal digits) Greater than

No. Two-thirds is 11.1% less than 3 out of 4.

Try to make those fractions into decimals. Three fourths is 0.75 and two thirds is between 0.66 and 0.67
Two third is less than three fourth.
