Answer:

No 2/3 is not greater than 5/7

Explanation:

To find the greater number see below.

First, we need to find the LCM of denominators(3 and 7)

= LCM of 3 and 7 = 21

= 2 × 7 = 14, 3 × 7 = 21

= 5 × 3 = 15, 7 × 3 = 21

Now, we can easily identify that which number is larger.

2/3 is equal to 14/21, and 5/7 is equal to 15/21.

So, here 14/21 is not greater than 15/21.

So, 2/3 is not equal to 5/7.
