Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

It can be helpful to use a common denominator for comparison. That denominator can be 100, meaning we can make them all decimal fractions. Approximate (2 digit) values are good enough for the purpose.

2/3 ≈ 0.67 . . . . left end of the range

7/9 ≈ 0.78 . . . . right end of the range

3/5 = 0.60

6/9 ≈ 0.67 . . . . = 2/3, so is not greater than 2/3

3/4 = 0.75

6/7 ≈ 0.86

The only decimal value between 0.67 and 0.78 is 0.75, corresponding to the fraction 3/4.

2/3 < 3/4 < 7/9
