Answer:
(15)/(18),(17)/(18)

Explanation:

Given fractions:
\frac56 and
\frac79

Denominators: 6 and 9 respectively.

Both numbers are multiples of 3.

6= 2 x 3

9 = 3 x 3

Least common multiple of 6 and 9 = 3x 3 x2 = 18


(5)/(6)*(3)/(3)=(15)/(18) ,
(7)/(9)*\frac22=(17)/(18)

The required fractions with common denominators:
(15)/(18),(17)/(18)
