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
2/3 + 2/12 = [ 2x4 + 2 ]/12 = 10/12 = 5/6
Eleven twelfths.

8/12 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
