The given numbers are $$\bar{0.6}\ and\ \frac{5}{6}.$$
To compare the numbers $$\displaystyle\overline{{0.6}}{\quad\text{and}\quad}\frac{5}{{6}},\ \text{first we write the fraction}\ \frac{5}{6}\ \text{as decimal and compare with the decimal}\ \bar{0.6}.$$
$$\displaystyle{6}\frac{0.833}{{5.00}}$$
$$\displaystyle\frac{{-{48}}}{{20}}$$
$$\displaystyle\frac{{-{18}}}{{20}}$$
$$\displaystyle\frac{{-{18}}}{{20}}$$
$$\displaystyle\frac{{-{18}}}{{2}}$$
Thus, $$\displaystyle\frac{5}{{6}}={0.833}\ldots{\quad\text{or}\quad}\overline{{0.83}}.$$
Now, we compare this with given decimal $$\bar{0.6}.$$
Original number $$\displaystyle\overline{{0.6}}\frac{5}{{6}}$$
Decimals$$\displaystyle\overline{{0.6}}\overline{{0.83}}$$
Compare $$\displaystyle\overline{{0.6}}<\overline{{0.83}}$$
Thus, $$\displaystyle\overline{{0.6}}<\frac{5}{{6}}.$$
Final statement:
$$\displaystyle\overline{{0.6}}<\frac{5}{{6}}.$$
