Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find a common denominator

To find a common denominator, find a multiple that both fractions have. In this case, the common denominator is 18 because 9 can get to 18 by 9 x 2 and 6 can get to 18 by 6 x 3.

2. Convert your fractions to both have a common denominator.

2/9 x 2/2 = 4/18              5/6 x 3/3 = 15/18

3. Compare

4/18 < 15/18 which means

2/9 < 5/6

Hope this helps!
