Answer:
Given Rational Numbers are 2/3, 5/7
LCM of 3, 7 is 21
Expressing the rational numbers with the same denominator using the LCM obtained we get
Therefore, we get 2/3 = (2*7)/(3*7) = 14/21
5/7 = (5*3)/(7*3) = 15/21
See the numerators of both the rational numbers obtained i.e. 14/21, 15/21
Since 15 is greater the rational number 5/7 is greater.
Therefore, of the two rational numbers, 2/3 and 5/7, 5/7 is greater.
