3
 is greater than which of the following? 


Choices:
A. 5 6
B. 5 9
C. 7 10
D. 11 15
E. 14 20

 The correct answer is B. 
  
2

 is  0.666  , repeating, so you can either compare that value to the 
 decimal equivalents of the answer choices or find common 
 denominators for each choice and 
2
3
 . 
  
 Either way, the only one that is less than 
2
3
 is

 , since

 is 
 actually equal to 
6

 .
