Pls answer fast. Have my maths exam tomorrow

Answer 1

2/3 is greater by 2/3-5/9

Answer 2

First find the LCM of the denominators, so LCM of 3,9= 9
Now multiply the numerator and denominator to get same denominator.So,
2*3/3*3= 6/9
5*1/9*1= 5/9
Now compare both the fractions.
we find that 6/9>5/9.
So 2/3>5/9.
Now subtract 5/9 from 6/9, we get,
6/9--5/9= 1/9
So 2/3 is greater than 5/9 by 1/9.
