I suggest you do the following:
1) Find a common denominator of 5 and 7. (It need not be the least common denominator; multiplying the two denominators works for our purposes.)
2) Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator.
3) Compare the numerators of the fractions thus converted.

2 over 3 is bigger
2/3 is equal to 4/6, so 2/3 is greater than 1/6.
3/6 can be simplified to 1/2, and 1/2 is greater than 2/5. So, 3/6 is greater then 2/5.
No, 2/3 is equal to 1.667 and 7/9 is equal to .778.
Yes to make 2/3 and 2/5 similar make the lower number the same 3 x 5 = 15 2/3 = 10/15 2/5 = 6/15 so 10/15 is bigger than 6/15 so 2/3 is bigger than 2/5
