In order to rewrite the fractions, we must first find the LCM between 20 and 15:

Multiples of 20: 20, 40, 60, 80...

Multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60...

So, the LCM is 60. The denominator will be 60. Now we find equivalent fractions for the ones given:


\begin{gathered} (17)/(20)=(51)/(60) \\ \\ (13)/(15)=(52)/(60) \end{gathered}

Now, ordering we will consider the greater numerator as the greater fraction:


(52)/(60)>(51)/(60)

Also:


(17)/(20)<(13)/(15)
