Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
Let’s compare all the answers to 2/7, unless we find a larger fraction. B. 2/3 is larger than 2/7. For now, this is the right answer. C. 2/3 is also 6/9 and that is smaller than 7/9. For now this is the right answer.
D. 7/9 is bigger than 7/12.
E. Bring this answer and C. to a common denominator.
7/9 = 35/45 and 3/5 = 27/45.
7/9 is the largest fraction.
