Question

Is 2 fourths greater than 2 thirds?

Answer 1

Answer: No, 2/4 is not greater than 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To find an easy way to calculate their values we have 2 options. So, the 1st option is to turn them into a decimal. I already calculated their values which are:

2/4 = 0.5

2/3 = 0.667

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.5 is not greater than 0.667.

The 2nd way is to find a common denominator, which would look like this:

2/4 = 6/12

2/3 = 8/12

8/12 is greater than 6/12, so that also proves that 2/4 is not greater than 2/3.

Answer 2

NO

Explanation:

Two fourths =

`(2)/(4) = 0.5`

Two thirds =

`(2)/(3) = 0.66667`

Therefore

0.66667 > 0.5

`(2)/(3) > (2)/(4)`

or

0.5 < 0.66667

`(2)/(4) < (2)/(3)`

i hope this helped
