We convert the fractions to twelfths: 1 + 8 twelfths + 9 twelfths. 1 + 17 twelfths 2 and 5 twelfths.
2/3 is bigger than 5/12
2.5
2 and 2 thirds
no, two thirds = eight twelfths, so nine twelfths is bigger.

2/3 = 4/6 = 8/12, 8/12 - 5/12 = 3/12
6 and 2/3 = 20/3 = 80/12
To find out how many twelfths are in two thirds, we first need to convert two thirds into twelfths. To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of two thirds by 4, as 3 times 4 is 12. This gives us 8 twelfths. Therefore, there are 8 twelfths in two thirds.
2/3 + 2/12 = [ 2x4 + 2 ]/12 = 10/12 = 5/6
Eleven twelfths.
