Question

2/3rd of a number is less than the original number.

Answer 1

Hey MATE!

If we talk about positive numbers then this statement holds upto the fullest . Eg.,
$2 > 2( \frac{2}{3} ) \\ 2 > \frac{4}{3} \\ 2 > 1.33333....$


But if we take negative numbers then it does not proves to be correct. For example :

$- 2 < \frac{ - 4}{3} \\ or - 2 < - 1.33333....$
This is because the numbers which come on right side of number line are greater.

Hope it helps
