Answer:

False

Explanation:

Converting

$converting \: (2)/(3) \: to \: decimal \\ (2)/(3 ) = 0.6666666 .....$

$converting \: (5)/(12) \: to \: decimal \\ (5)/(12) = 0.4166666....$

$therefore \: (2)/(3) > \: (5)/(12) \\ because \: 0.66666... > 041666...$

False because 2/3 = 8/12
Therefore it would have to be 2/3>5/12
