[tex]2 \frac{4}{9}[/tex] would be the correct answer.
This is not 2.4. This is "2.44444..." because of the line over the 4 after the decimal place (this applies for any decimal such as [tex]2.48\overline{47} = 2.484747474747...[/tex]).
In general, the over-lined part can be written as a fraction of 9 (99, 999, 9999, etc. if the over-lined part has more than one digit, in increasing order of digits), which is why [tex]2 \frac{4}{9}[/tex] is the correct answer.
