Which fraction is smaller than 2/3
how about 1/3 ?
Hmm, let's put on our humor hats! Well, there are so many options! Here's one for you: A slice of pie that has been enthusiastically tasted by a herd of hungry elephants is definitely smaller than 2/3!
To find a fraction that is smaller than 2/3, we can consider fractions with a numerator less than 2 and a denominator greater than 3. For example, let's consider the fraction 1/2.
Comparing 1/2 and 2/3, we can see that 1/2 is smaller because the numerator (1) is less than the numerator (2) in 2/3.
Therefore, 1/2 is a fraction that is smaller than 2/3.
To determine which fraction is smaller than 2/3, we can compare it to other fractions and see if they are smaller. One easy way to compare fractions is to convert them to a common denominator.
Let's take the fraction 1/2 as an example. To compare it to 2/3, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 3 is 6. So, we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 6:
2/3 = 4/6
1/2 = 3/6
Now we can see that 3/6 (which is equivalent to 1/2) is smaller than 4/6 (which is equivalent to 2/3).
Therefore, the fraction 1/2 is smaller than 2/3.
You can use the same process to compare 2/3 to any other fraction. Find a common denominator and convert both fractions to that denominator. Then compare the numerators to determine which fraction is smaller.
