Answer:

Therefore, 2/3 is greater than 5/8 and the answer to the question "Is 2/3 greater than 5/8?" is yes. Note: When comparing fractions such as 2/3 and 5/8, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger. Is 2/3 greater than 5/9?

Sam

Explanation:

Kelly swam 15/24 and Sam swam 16/24. 15/24 is less than 16/24 so Sam swam further.
