See a solution process below:

To determine which fraction is larger than #5/6# we can put each fraction over a common denominator and see which is larger.

7/8:

#5/6 xx 8/8 => 40/48#

#7/8 xx 6/6 => 42/48#

#7/8# is larger than #5/6#

4/5

#5/6 xx 5/5 => 25/30#

#4/5 xx 6/6 => 24/30#

#5/6# is larger than #4/5#

3/4

#5/6 xx 4/4 => 20/24#

#3/4 xx 6/6 => 18/24#

#5/6# is larger than #3/4#

2/3

#5/6#

#2/3 xx 2/2 => 4/6#

#5/6# is larger than #2/3#
