Is two thirds or five eighths the bigger fraction?

2/3 66.6% and 5/8 62.5% thus 2/3 is bigger. Looked at another way, if we find the common denominator, we can make a direct comparison. 2/3 and 5/8 have 24 as a common denominator. If we convert them to 24ths, we'll have 16/24 and 15/24, respectively. And as 16/24 is larger than 15/24, the fraction 2/3 is larger.


If something is 2 thirds bigger is it the same as it being 3 times bigger?

No, because 2 thirds is a fraction which is 2/3 which is 66.6 percent of what the original size (which means it is actually a decreased size) is where as 3 times bigger would be increasing the size by 3.
