​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/7 is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Take LCM of denominators.

LCM=7*9 because they are co primes. 63

2) Make both fractions equivalent using the LCM.

5/7 * 9/9= ?/63 : 45/63

4/9* 7/7= ?/63: 28/63

Hence,

5/7=45/63 and 4/9=28/63

So, 45/63 that is 5/7 is greater.
