Answer:2/3

Explanation:

After all, 2 is larger than 1, but the denominators aren't the same. If you look at the picture, though, the difference is clear: 2/3 is larger than 1/5.

If you make the fractions with a common denominator, which would be 15, the fractions would turn into 5/15 and 6/15. Therefore 2/5 is greater
