8/12 is .6667, and 10/15 is also .6667. They are the same decimals, which means they are the same value. To answer your question, No, 8/12 is not greater than 10/15, they are exactly the same

Answer:

no, they are equal. we know this because when reducing both they are equal.

Explanation:

first find the least common denominator

that's 3

reduce fractions until the denominator is both 3

we get 2/3 and 2/3. the proportions are equal.
