The lowest common denominator of 9 and 6 is 18, so express these each with a denominator of 18.

7/9 = 14/18
5/6 = 15/18

Therefore 7/9 < 5/6

7/9 = 14/18 (Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2)
And
5/6 = 15/18 (Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3)

So: 14/18 < 15/18

Which means that: 7/9 < 5/6

Good luck!
