If you imagine all numbers on a line with 0 in the middle, this will become clear:
-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
The numbers further to the right are larger.
-3 is further right than -5, so -3 is larger.
-3 is larger

Which fraction is larger one third or two fifths?
1/3 is the same as 5/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 5 2/5 is the same as 6/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 3 6/15 is larger than 5/15 so 2/5 is larger than 1/3. 2/5 is larger than 1/3.
Is two thirds larger than 5 sixth?
5/6 is larger than 2/3
What is larger 3 over 5 or 4 over 9?
3/5 is greater.
Which is larger 4 tenths or 3 fifths?
3 fifths is larger. 4 tenths is 0.4 , 3 fifths is 0.6
What is larger 1 over 5 or 3 over 10?
1/5 is the same as 2/10 so 3/10 is obviously larger.
Which is larger 2 thirds or 3 fifths?
2/3 is 66 2/3 %; 3/5 is 60 % -- 2/3 must be larger!
Is two fifths an equivalent fraction of one thirds?
No. If you convert both to 15ths, 2/5 is 6/15, while 1/3 is 5/15. So 2/5 is larger. Another way to tell which fraction is larger is to cross-multiply. The fraction with the numerator which gives the larger product when multiplied by the other denominator is the larger one. So if you multiply the 2 from 2/5 with the 3 from 1/3, you get 6. If you multiply the 1 from 1/3 with the 5 from 2/5, you get five. So 6 is larger than 5, meaning that 2/5 is larger.
