Question

of 2/3 and 5/9 which is greater and by how much

Answer 1

2/3 and 5/9 we have to compare them so first we have to make them equivalent.
L.C.M of 3 and 9= 9
2/3 * 3/3 = 6/9
and 5/9 *1/1 = 59

so now compare -    6/9 > 5/9
 (6-5)/ 9 = 1/9

so 2/3 is greater than 5/9 by 1/9.

Answer 2

lcm of denominators,
3 and 9 is 9
so,
2/3 * 3/3 = 6/9
5/9 * 1/1 = 5/9
6/9 > 5/9
therfore, 2/3 is greater than 5/9
To know by how much it is greater :
difference of 6/9 and 5/9
= 6/9- 5/9
= 1/9
