1/4 is closer.

First, convert all three fractions into having common denominators. The least common denominator of 1/4, 1/2, and 1/3 is 12. Convert each fraction into twelfths. 1/4 becomes 3/12. 1/2 becomes 6/12. 1/3 becomes 4/12. From here it should be clear that 1/4 (3/12) is closer to 1/3 (4/12) than 1/2 (6/12).

The difference between 1/4 and 1/3 is 1/12, which is smaller than the difference between 1/2 and 1/3, (difference = 2/12).

The answer is one-half. It is twice as much as one-fourth. Consider one as a whole. If you divide it into two parts, you will get one half (1/2), if into three parts, you will get 1/3 (one-third), if into 4 parts, you will get 1/4 (one-fourth).


Is one fourth closer two zero one half or one?

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. One fourth is closer to zero than it is to one half. Think of it like this: if you're walking on a number line, zero is like your next-door neighbor, while one half is a few houses down the street, and one is in a whole other neighborhood. So, one fourth is definitely cozying up to zero more than it is to one half.
