Answer: it would be the "=" sign

Step-by-step explanation: this is because 2/3 and 6/9 are equivalent fractions. you want to find the greatest common factor between 6 and 9 which is 3. you multiply that by the numerator and denominator. therefore, the symbol that compares these mixed numbers is "=".
