Step-by-step explanation:

find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominator

LCM of 3 and 5 is 15

Next find equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with the denominator 15

for the first fraction , since 3*5=15,

2/3 = 2x5 /3x5 = 10/15

likewise, for the 2nd fraction ,since 3x5 =15,

4/5 = 4x3/5x3 = 12/15

since denominator are now the same, the fraction with the bigger ,numerator is the greatest fraction

10/15<12/15 or 2/3<4/5
