Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two numbers. (3/5 and 2/7).

To determine which is greater, we follow the steps below:

Step 1: Find the lowest common multiple of the denominators.

The LCM of 5 and 7 = 35

Step 2: Make the denominators the same


\begin{gathered} (3)/(5)=(3*7)/(5*7)=(21)/(35) \\ (2)/(7)=(2*5)/(7*5)=(10)/(35) \end{gathered}

Step 3: Compare the numerators

Since 21 is greater than 10, we conclude that 3/5 is greater.
