The larger of 24 inches and 2 feet, 3 inches would be 2 feet, 3 inches.
In customary conversions, 1 foot equals 12 inches. Since we have 2 feet, that means we multiply inches by the number of feet we have. In this problem, that would be 12 (the inches in a foot) times 2 (the number of feet).
12 x 2 = 24.
However, we can't just stop there. Since we have 2 feet, 3 inches, we have to add the 3 extra inches now that we've set all of the numbers to the same unit. So it would be:
24 + 3 = 27
Since 27 inches is greater than 24 inches, we can safely say that 2 feet, 3 inches is greater than 24 inches.
Hope I could help! Feel free to reach out if you need more help with conversions. Having a chart in either your notebook or binder has always helped me.
