    2/3 works here because its value is greater than 1/2 but less than 4/5. An easy way to visualize this is to take the decimal value of each number as decimals are often easier to understand than fractions.

    1/2=.50

    2/3=.67

    4/5=.80

    This inequality could be rewritten as. 50 <.67 <.80 and would have the same value.

    1/2 < __ < 4/5

    1/2 = 0.5

    4/5 = 0.8

    they got 2/3 because 2/3 = 0.66 and it falls in between 1/2 and 4/5.

    The other answer choices obviously did not fall in the solution range
