This by itself in a file should be fine. However, if you want to make
sure you're using the existing Numeric class and not creating a new one,
change class Numeric ... end to Numeric.class_eval do ... end.

Here you've made a class StartDate::PageExtensions::Numeric which
inherits from Page. I don't think this is what you want to do. You
want to override the existing Ruby Numeric class.
I would take your first snippet, put it in a file
lib/numeric_extensions.rb, then explicitly require it from your
extension's activate method.
Hope this helps!
