Yes, 300 is greater than
\bold{(8)/(9)}.

Remember, proper fractions (fractions with a numerator less than the denominator) are less than 1.

When comparing an integer (like 300) with a fraction (like 8/9), first you need to work out whether or not the fraction is a proper fraction.

Then, you also need to pay attention to the signs, because they may seem trivial, but they are in fact highly significant.

Therefore,

300>8/9 (300 is definitely greater than a number less than 1, right?)

(and the ">" sign means "greater than"

Good luck with your studies.
