Correct Question :- Compare —  \sf 2 \frac{1}{7}\\ and  \sf 1\frac{7}{8}\\.

Correct Answer :-

☞ To compare the given mixed fractions, we have to find change them into improper fractions;

 \sf{2 \frac{1}{7}  \:  \: and \:  \: 1 \frac{7}{8} } \\

 \leadsto \sf{ \frac{7 \times 2 + 1}{7}  \:  \: and \:  \:  \frac{8 \times 1 + 7}{8} } \\

 \leadsto \sf{ \frac{15}{7}  \:  \: and \:  \:  \frac{15}{8} } \\

◇ Now convert them to decimal for ease.

 \leadsto \sf{2.14 \:  \: and \:  \: 1.875}

 \leadsto{ \boxed{ \pmb{ \sf{ \green{2.14 > 1.875}}}}}

❑ Hence, we can see 2.14 [$ \bf 2\frac{1}{7}$] is greater.
