Answer:

>

Explanation:

We can rewrite the compound fractions to get 5/4 * 11/5

Multiply these to 55/20

Now let's look at the other side

5/6 * 11/5 = 55/30

Since the numerators are the same but the denominators are different, the fraction with the lower denominator is greater

55/20 > 55/30

Hope this helps
