To determine whether 5/6 is greater or less than 2/3, we can compare the two fractions by converting them to have the same denominator.
First, find the least common denominator (LCD) of 6 and 3. The LCD of 6 and 3 is 6.
Next, convert 2/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 6:
2/3 = (2 × 2)/(3 × 2) = 4/6
Now, compare 5/6 and 4/6:
5/6 > 4/6
Therefore, 5/6 is greater than 2/3.
