Answer:

1/5 < 4/15 < 2/3

Explanation:

First of all, we will take the LCM of the denominators. the LCM will be 15, so we will multiply the fraction by the number that will give 15 in the denominator

1/5= 1*3/5*3= 3/15

2/3= 2*5/3*5= 10/15

4/15= 4*1/15*1= 4/15

Now the numerators are different but denominators are the same.

We can easily arrange these in ascending order.

1/5 < 4/15 < 2/3
