Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

First things first, negative numbers always have a lower value than positive numbers and so -
(1)/(6) and -
(5)/(6) is definitely not the answer.

Secondly, imagine that an apple pie is divided into 6 equal parts, and one person gets 5 of the 6 parts and the other got 1 of the 6 parts. Person A would get 4 more parts of the 6 parts than Person B so it shows that
(5)/(6) is more than
(1)/(6).

Thus, the fraction with the greatest value is 5/6
