Solution

Simply, take the LCM of the denominators 5,2,3 and 6 i.e. 30
$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30} \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 15}{2 \times 15} = \frac{15}{30} \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 10}{3 \times 10} = \frac{20}{30} \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{25}{30}$
Thus, $\frac{5}{6} > \frac{2}{3} > \frac{3}{5} > \frac{1}{2}$
