To arrange the fractions \( \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3} \) in decreasing order, we should first convert them to a common denominator or compare their decimal values.
1. **Convert to decimal:**
- \( \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \)
- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667 \)
2. **Comparison:**
- \( 0.6667 > 0.4 > 0.25 \)
Thus, in decreasing order, the fractions are:
\[ \frac{2}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{4} \]
1. **Convert to decimal:**
- \( \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \)

2. **Comparison:**
- \( 0.6667 > 0.4 > 0.25 \)
Thus, in decreasing order, the fractions are:
\[ \frac{2}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{4} \]
