thanks this was very helpful
You're very welcome.
The next time you post, though, please do not falsify your grade level. Type your school subject in the blank.
I was also curious where fractions are taught in grade 1.

To determine which fraction has the greatest value, we can compare them by finding a common denominator and then comparing the numerators.
1. Find a common denominator:
The denominators in this case are 3 and 9. The smallest number that is divisible by both 3 and 9 is 9. So, we'll use 9 as the common denominator for both fractions.
2/3 is equivalent to (2/3) * (3/3) = 6/9
8/9 remains the same.
2. Compare the numerators:
Since the denominators are the same (9), we can compare the numerators directly. The numerators are 6 and 8.
Since 8 is greater than 6, we can conclude that 8/9 has the greater value in this pair.
The inequality that shows the relationship is:
8/9 > 2/3
