Solution

$\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$

Since they do not have the same denominators.

Common denominator $=$ L.C.M of $5$ and $6$

$= 30$

So, $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{24}{30}$

$\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{25}{30}$

Since , $\frac{25}{30} > \frac{24}{30}$

$∴ \frac{5}{6} > \frac{4}{5}$
