Answer:

0.667 is greater than 0.5. Therefore, 2/3 is greater than 1/2 and the answer to the question "Is 2/3 greater than 1/2?" is yes. Note: When comparing fractions such as 2/3 and 1/2, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.
