No. Remember fractions? If you cut a pie into three equal pieces and ate two of them, that's 2/3. If you cut it into 4 equal pieces and ate three of them that's 3/4. 3/4 is more than 2/3.

No, 3/4 is more.

No.
2/3 is the same as 8/12
3/4 is the same as 9/12
so 3/4 is 1/12 more than 2/3. They are NOT the same.

Lowest common denominator:
2/3=8/12
3/4=9/12

No. It's amazing how many people have this problem.
Think of it as money.
3/4 of a dollar is 75 cents.
2/3 of a dollar is 66 cents.
So 3/4 is bigger.
Remember when cooking there are recipes and formulas. Recipes can be fooled with ...mostly general cooking. Formulas are generally baking and must be followed to the letter.

No, it isn't. 3/4 of a cup is more.

That depends. If you believe that 66and 2/3 cents is the same as 75 cents, then for you, it's probably the same. But if someone owes you $750.oo and want you to settle for $666.oo, I don't think you would agree that it's the same thing.

Look on a measuring cup and you will see the difference.

2/3 of 100 is 66.6
3/4 of 100 is 75
So yeah it is more.
