compare using <,>, or = 2/3 1/5

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the two fractions: 2/3 and 1/5

To compare, first, make the denominators of the fractions the same:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{10}{15} \\ \frac{1}{5}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{15} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Comparing the numerators: 10 is greater than 3, therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{15}>\frac{3}{15} \\ \implies\frac{2}{3}>\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
