Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert Fractions to Decimal Form

To compare the fractions, we first convert each fraction to its decimal form:

  • \(\frac{1}{4} = 0.25\)
  • \(\frac{2}{7} \approx 0.2857\)
  • \(\frac{5}{9} \approx 0.5556\)
  • \(\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667\)
Step 2: Compare Decimal Values

Now, we compare the decimal values obtained:

  • \(0.25\)
  • \(0.2857\)
  • \(0.5556\)
  • \(0.6667\)

Among these, \(0.6667\) is the largest.

Final Answer

The fraction with the greatest value is \(\frac{2}{3}\).

\[ \boxed{\frac{2}{3}} \]
