Answer: Bigger

Explanation:

1st method:

You can use deduct the two fractions from 1. 1-2/3=1/3, and 1-1/2=1/2. Since the remaining 1/2 is bigger than the remaining 1/3, it means that 1/2 is lesser than 2/3 as it is the bigger number that has the least remainder. This method is useful for comparing large fractions.


2nd method:

1/2=3/6

2/3=4/6

4/6>3/6

Hence, 2/3 is bigger than 1/2.
