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