  • 2/3

    = 0.66666....

    Rounded to 0.667

    = 100*0.667 %

    = 66.7%

    So 70% is greater.

  • 2/3 is the same as 2 ÷ 3. If you perform this function then 2/3=0.6666666666666 (or 0.667 for short).

    a percentage can also be shown as a decimal equivalent. Just move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. So 70% = 0.70.

    And the final answer is 70% (0.70) is greater than 2/3 (0.667).

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • One is a fraction and the other is a percentage Let us convert both to the same expressions. Either both fractions or both percentage.

    2/3 can be converted to percentage just by multiplying by 100.

    (2/3)100=200/3 %=66⅔%

    Hence 70% is greater.

    Now ,let us convert both into decimal fractions,

    2/3 = 0.6666666666

    70%= 70/100= .7, Here .7 is greater. Hence 70%

  • 2 over 3 is the same as .66 repeating [that's 2 divided by 3]

    70% is the same as .70

    so 70% > 2/3

  • 2 over 3 means 2 divided by 3. 2/3 is 66.666% therefore 70% is greater.
