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.
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.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
Two thirds (2/3) is less than three quarters (3/4). When converted to decimals, two thirds is approximately 0.67, while three quarters is 0.75. Thus, three quarters represents a larger portion than two thirds.
