Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

When you look at the two fractions, we can immediately tell that the first is over 1 and the other is not one. However, if we wanted to see how much greater 6/5 is compared to 2/3, then we could find the common denominator and then subtract the 2/3 from the 6/5.

6/5 - 2/3

18/15 - 10/15

8/15.

This can't be simplified.

Thus, 6/5 is 8/15 greater than 2/3.

Hope that this helped and everything works out. You can do this same method with any two fractions if your not sure if one is greater than, equal to, or less than any other number and what the difference is between them.
