2/3 because it’s out of 3, if you cut a pizza in 3 slices the slices are bigger and if u take 2 out of the three the remaining piece is bigger than the 4/5 because those 5 pieces will be cut smaller

Answer:


(4)/(5) is greater.

Explanation:

To find : Which one is greater
(2)/(3) or
(4)/(5) ?

Solution :

First we make the denominators of the fraction same to identify the greater term easily.

Multiply and divide
(2)/(3) by 5,


(2)/(3)* (5)/(5)=(10)/(15)

Multiply and divide
(4)/(5) by 3,


(4)/(5)* (3)/(3)=(12)/(15)

Now, Comparing the numerator 12 > 10

So,
(12)/(15)>(10)/(15)

Which means
(4)/(5)>(2)/(3)

Therefore,
(4)/(5) is greater.
