Answer:

No, 2/3 is bigger than 5/8

Explanation:

If you convert 2/3 into a deciamal it is 0.666

and if you convert 5/8 into a decimal it is 0.625

therefore 2/3 is the bigger fraction and the statement is not correct.

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

No its 2/3 > 5/8

Explanation:

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as:

2/3 = 0.667

5/8 = 0.625

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

0.667 is greater than 0.625. So 2/3 > 5/8
