AAman $(\frac{5}{6})$
BBina $(\frac{7}{9})$
CBoth are equally close
DCannot be decided

Step-by-Step Solution

Use a common denominator 18:

\frac{5}{6} = \frac{15}{18}, \frac{7}{9} = \frac{14}{18}

, and

1 = \frac{18}{18}

. Distances:

\frac{3}{18}

vs

\frac{4}{18}

, so

\frac{5}{6}

is closer to 1.
