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 $2/3$
