Question

What number is bigger 2 7/8 or 2.79?

Answer 1

27/8 is bigger because when you divide 27 to 8 you will get 3.37 so 3.37 is bigger than 2.79.

Answer 2

`(1)/(8)=(1\cdot125)/(8\cdot125)=(125)/(1000)=0.125\\\\(7)/(8)=7\cdot(1)/(8)=7\cdot0.125=0.875\\\\2(7)/(8)=2.875\ is\ bigger\\\\2(7)/(8)=2.875 > 2.79`
