Question

Is 213 2.3 greater less or equal to

Answer 1

Answer:

  2 1/3 > 2.3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can compare these numbers. One is to convert 2 1/3 to a decimal fraction. It is the repeating decimal ...

  2 1/3 = 2.3333333...

Compared to 2.30, we see that 2 1/3 has a 3 in the hundredths place, where 2.3 has 0. Thus 2 1/3 is greater than 2.3.

You can convert them both to improper fractions and then to fractions with a common denominator.

  2 1/3 = 7/3 = 70/30

  2.3 = 23/10 = 69/30

  70/30 > 69/30 . . . . so 2 1/3 > 2.3
