Its a word problem pls help me

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

We want to get common denominators to compare

2/3 and 4/5 have a common denominator of 15

2/3 *5/5 = 10/15

4/5 *3/3 = 12/15

These are not the same fraction so they are not equivalent

2/3 and 5/6 have a common denominator of 6

2/3 *2/2 = 4/6

5/6 *1/1 = 5/6

These are not the same fraction so they are not equivalent
