Explanation:

the common denominator for these two is 45, as you have to times 5 by 9 to get this you will have to times 3 by 9 aswell so that fraction would be 27/45.

as you have to times 9 by 5 to get 45 you will have to times 5 by 5 which is 25 so that fraction would be 25/45

3/5=27/45 5/9=25/45

27 is bigger than 25
