Answer 1

so, ahemm. what do we do again? compare them... how ?

Answer 2

what method would you use @jdoe0001

Answer 3

well, I'd make them both the same denominator, that is the same whole
how? well, multiply the both denominator and numerator by the denominator of the other
thus
\(\bf \cfrac{4 \times 6}{15 \times 6}, \cfrac{5 \times 15}{6 \times 15}
\implies \cfrac{24}{90}, \cfrac{75}{90}\)
