Answer:


(8)/(3) is the greatest value.

Explanation:

The given numbers are
(8)/(3), 2.28,
(10)/(12), 0.199

In this question we have to find out greatest value.

So, first we convert all the values in decimals.

To convert
(8)/(3) in decimal form, we divide 8 by 3. The answer would be 2.67

2.28


(10)/(12) = 0.83

0.199

Now we arrange these numbers in the increasing order.

0.199 < 0.83 < 2.28 < 2.67

So the greatest number is 2.67 that is
(8)/(3).
