Yes as -1 is closer to 0 than -6
If you are rounding to the nearest one, 2/3 rounds to 1. If you are rounding to the nearest half, 2/3 rounds to 1/2 4/6 is closer to 3/6 than it is to 6/6
One whole = 6/6. the difference between 6/6 and 4/6 is 2/6. 1/2 = 3/6. The difference between 4/6 and 3/6 is 1/6, so it is closer to one half.

You can do this with and without a calculator.With a calculator: find the decimal value for each equation Ex: 1/2 = .5 and 1/3 = .333, the 1/2 would be greater because it is a larger numberWithout a calculator: Find the common denominator Ex: 1/2 and 1/3 so the common denominator is 6 so the equations can be rewritten as 3/6 and 2/6. This would mean that the 3/6 is greater than the 2/6 since 3/6 is closer to 1 than 2/6 is.
4. Solution: 9-6=3 6-4=2 2<3, so 6 is closer to 4 than it is to 9 (by 1 unit, 3-2=1)
it's closer to 1/2 1/2 = 3/6 2/3 = 4/6 1 = 6/6 4 is closer to 3 so 2/3 is closer to 1/2
1 - 5/6 = 1/6 1 - 1/3 = 1 - 2/6 = 4/6 5/6 is closer to 1
Yes as -1 is closer to 0 than -6
Closer is a comparative term. So you need another number to compare it with. 1/6 is closer to 0 than 100,000,000 but not closer than 0.00000000001
yes! it is much closer.
