Answer 1

Answer:

See,

First we will take the LCM of 3 and 5 so as to make the base equal ( equal base helps in better comparison)

So, the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15

Therefore, 2/3 = ( 2 x 5) / (3 x 5)

So, 2/3 = 10/15..................................................... (1)

And, 1/5 = (1 x 3) / (5 x 3)

So, 1/5 = 3 / 15...................................................... (2)

Comparing (1) with (2) we get,

10/15 > 3/15

Therefore, 2/3 > 1/5

Hope this helps.........
