Does 14/18 lower than 15/18, yes therefore 5/6 is higher than 7/9

To compare the answers, you need to have the same denominator.

We know that, 18 is a common denominator between 6 and 9.

(5/6)*3/3 => 15/18 (ALMONDS)
(7/9)*2/2 => 14/18 (CASHEWS)

As seen, the weight of almonds is 1/18 bigger than the cashews.

Hope I helped :)
