Question

Compare using <,>, or = 2/3 1/5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two fractions: 2/3 and 1/5

To compare, first, make the denominators of the fractions the same:

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)*(5)/(5)=(10)/(15) \\ (1)/(5)*(3)/(3)=(3)/(15) \end{gathered}`

Comparing the numerators: 10 is greater than 3, therefore:

`\begin{gathered} (10)/(15)>(3)/(15) \\ \implies(2)/(3)>(1)/(5) \end{gathered}`
