$12.5+5\frac{3}{8}+8\frac{1}{8}+9\frac{4}{5}+\square 2.9+15-6.88+11.08$.

• A. $<$
• B. $>$
• C. $=$
• D. Can't be determined

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$>$

We have, $12.5+5\frac{3}{8}+8\frac{1}{8}+9\frac{4}{5}$

$=12.5+\frac{43}{8}+\frac{65}{8}+\frac{49}{5}$

$=12.5+5.375+8.125+9.8=35.8$

Now lets check for $2.9+15-6.88+11.08=22.1$
Since, $35.8>22.1$
Therefore, $12.5+5\frac{3}{8}+8\frac{1}{8}+9\frac{4}{5}>2.9+15-6.88+11.08$.
