Answer:

Explanation:

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

3/7 = 0.429

2/3 = 0.667

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.429 is not greater than 0.667.

Therefore, 3/7 is not greater than 2/3 and the answer to the question "Is 3/7 greater than 2/3?" is no.

Which means that this equation is also true: 3/7 < 2/3

When comparing fractions such as 3/7 and 2/3, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.
