12 fifteenths (sure?)19 fifteenths = 10 fifteenths (2/3) + 9 fifteenths (3/5)
1/3 + 2/5 = 5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15 (Eleven fifteenths)
3/15 + 2/5 = 3/5 or 0.6
2/5 as it is same as 6/15 multiply both parts by 3
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 11/15 - 2/5 = 1/3 or one third.
12 fifteenths (sure?)19 fifteenths = 10 fifteenths (2/3) + 9 fifteenths (3/5)
It isn't. 1 third=5 fifteenths 1 fifth is 3 fifteenths so 2 fifths=6 fifteenths So 1/3 is less than 2/5 by 1/15
One-third is the same as five-fifteenths. Two-fifths is the same as six-fifteenths. Five-fifteenths plus six-fifteenths is eleven-fifteenths. One, or fifteen-fifteenths, minus eleven-fifteenths is four-fifteenths.
1/3 + 2/5 = 5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15 (Eleven fifteenths)
5 and 2/3
3/15 + 2/5 = 3/5 or 0.6
Make them equivalent fractions with the same denominator then compare the numerators: 2/5 = 2x3/5x3 = 6/15 1/3 = 1x5/3x5 = 5/15 Two fifths is larger than one third as two fifths is equivalent to six fifteenths whereas one third is only equivalent to five fifteenths which is smaller than six fifteenths.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 3/5 + 1/3 = 14/15 or fourteen fifteenths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.93 recurring (that is, 0.93333..)
2/5 as it is same as 6/15 multiply both parts by 3
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 11/15 - 2/5 = 1/3 or one third.
1/3 x 2/5 = 2/15
When you have your two fractions you multiply the denominators to get the common denominator. So you would do 3x5=15, 15 is the common denominator. Now you cross multiply. you do 3x2=6 then 5x1=5. Now you have 5 fifteenths and 6 fifteenths. 5 fifteenths belongs to 1 third and 6 fifteenths belongs to 2 fifths. So now you can see that 2 FIFTHS is BIGGER than 1 third. ==================================== Or you could just convert the fractions into decimal form and see which one is bigger. 1/3 = 0.3333 2/5 = 0.4 <=== This one is bigger than 0.3333.
