Answer 2

Answer:

Yes,  237.5 is greater than  2 8/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to compare two numbers i.e. we have to find the greater number out of the two numbers.

The numbers are:

   237.5   and    2 8/24

Now, we change the mixed fraction number into decimal number so that it would be easy to compare the two numbers.

$2\dfrac{8}{24}=\dfrac{2\times 24+8}{24}\\\\2\dfrac{8}{24}=2.333$

since 237> 2

This means that 237.5>2.333

Hence, we have:

   237.5 is greater than 2.3333
