Question

Is 2/3 greater than 2/5?

Answer 1

Yes. 2/3 is greater than 2/5. You can check this by cross multiplication or easier just look at the denominator and numerator. In this case the numerator is the same so it's easier in a sense that you need to look at the denominator. Since the denominator 3 is close to the numerator 2 it shows that it's almost a whole unlike the other fraction. You can also convert each fraction to decimals and compare it which is also easy. Just divide the numerator by the denominator and you've got a decimal. Hope this helps!
