For instance, 1/4 is less than 2/3. So it 1/900, 1/573918974, 1/956423987087659265, and so on...
(Random numbers pushed, but that is not the point...)
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.
