Answer:

your friends skateboard is higher

Explanation:

If you do the problem, and need work, do this, convert 2 3/8 to a decimal as well as 2 2/5. Which ever one is bigger as a decimal is the higher one.

2-3/8 = 2.375

2-2/5 = 2.4

2.4 - 2.375 = 0.025

Your friend's skateboard ramp is 0.025 foot higher
than your skateboard ramp is.

That's about 1.1% higher . . . 0.3 inch, or about 7.62 millimeters.
