Hey there!

I believe the answer to your question is C. 2/3= two-thirds

Answer 2

C: two thirds is a fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

The hyphen in "two-thirds" is used because two thirds is a fraction. When we spell out simple fractions, we have to add a hyphen between the two words. The first word is the numerator, which represents the parts being considered. The second number is the denominator, which represents in how many parts the whole was divided.
