Hint:
Fractions are referred to as the components of a whole in mathematics. A single object or a collection of objects might be entire. A piece or sector of any quantity is another name for the fraction. It is indicated by the sign "/," such as a/b. For instance, in the fraction 2/4, the lower part represents the denominator, and the top part the numerator.
We have given a fractional number and we have to find it is closer to 0, , or 1.
The correct answer is: 0
In general, the whole can be any particular thing or value, and the fraction might be a portion of any quantity out of it. The top and bottom numbers of a fraction are explained by the fundamentals of fractions. Fractions are further broken down into various categories based on the characteristics of the numerator and denominator.
As follows:
- Proper fractions
- Improper fractions
- Mixed fractions
- Like fractions
- Unlike fractions
- Equivalent fractions
Estimating sums and differences of fractions to the nearest 1/2:
- Fractions < 1/4 are rounded down to 0
- Fractions ≥ 1/4 and ≤ 3/4 are rounded to 1/2
- Fractions > 3/4 are rounded up to 1
Here is the fraction that we have given , we have to find this is near to 0, , or 1.
So after looking at this number we can round it off as follows:
can be rounded to 0.
Since the numerator is very small when compared to the denominator, is closer to 0.
The numerical numbers that make up a fraction of the whole are called fractions. A whole can be a single item or a collection of items. A fraction is represented as a/b, where a and b are the numerator and denominator, respectively. Here we were given a fractional number and we were supposed to find it is closer to 0, , or 1. Since the numerator is one-half of the denominator, is closer to 0.
