4:5
explanation-

Express the given ratios as fraction

4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have

4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15

Clearly, 12 > 10

Now, 12/15 > 10/15

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.
