Is [tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] closer to 0 , [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] or 1?
[tex] \frac{4}{8} [/tex] is half of [tex] \frac{8}{8} [/tex]
It is not 0 because it is over half
So that leaves [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] (Half) or 1 ( [tex] \frac{8}{8} [/tex] )
[tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] is [tex] \frac{1}{8} [/tex] above [tex] \frac{4}{8} [/tex] which is half ([tex] \frac{1}{2} ) [/tex] while it is [tex] \frac{3}{8} [/tex] from [tex] \frac{8}{8} [/tex] so since [tex] \frac{1}{8} [/tex] is less than [tex] \frac{3}{8} [/tex] , then [tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] is closer to [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] than 1
Answer: [tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] is closer to [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] than 1
