Arrange in ascending order 3/4, 5/6, 2/3, 7/8.
Answer: A
The ascending order is 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8.
Convert to a common denominator, 24:
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{3} &= \frac{16}{24},\ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{18}{24} \\ \frac{5}{6} &= \frac{20}{24},\ \frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{24} \end{aligned} \]
Shortcut: each fraction is 1 minus a unit fraction (\(1 - \frac{1}{3}\), \(1 - \frac{1}{4}\), and so on), and the bigger the denominator, the smaller the gap from 1. The other options misplace 3/4 or 5/6, putting a larger fraction before a smaller one.
