Is 2/3 less than 1/2

1 answer

No, \( \frac{2}{3} \) is not less than \( \frac{1}{2} \). In fact, \( \frac{2}{3} \) is greater than \( \frac{1}{2} \).

To compare the two fractions, you can convert them to a common denominator or compare their decimal equivalents.

  • The decimal equivalent of \( \frac{2}{3} \) is approximately 0.67.
  • The decimal equivalent of \( \frac{1}{2} \) is 0.5.

Since 0.67 is greater than 0.5, it follows that \( \frac{2}{3} > \frac{1}{2} \).
