Rational numbers are infinitely dense and so there is no such number. If for example, you considered F1 to be the fraction that was closet to 0 then what about half that number? F2 = (F1)/2 is closer to 0. And then what about F3 = (F2)/2? This could go on for ever.

Which integer below is closest to 0 on a number line?
It is -1 or 1 because they are both integers
What fraction is closest to zero?
Fractions are infinitely dense and this means that between any two fractions there an infinite number of fractions. If any fraction, f, laid claims to being the nearest, there would be infinitely many fractions between 0 and f and so infinitely many fractions which were closer to 0. This means that f could not be the closest. The argument can be used again and again and so there cannot be a fraction closest to 0.
If you multiply the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number the result will be a fraction?
Yes, unless the number used for multiplication is 0. In that case you will have 0/0 which is not defined.
What is the value of 0 written as a fraction?
( 0 )/(any number) is.
What is a number between 0 and 1 expressed as one number over another called?
A fraction.
What fraction is closest to 0 on the number line?
1/infinity is the smallest fraction possible, but what number line the question is referring to is not specified so that's the only thing that can be stated here.
Which integer is closest to 0 on the number line?
It is: 1 or -1
What is the value 0 written as a fraction on a number line of thirds?
It is 0, but, if you insist, it can be written as 0/3.
Which integer below is closest to 0 on a number line?
It is -1 or 1 because they are both integers
Where would the fraction -2 8ths go on a number line?
-2/8 or -1/4 would go left of the 0 on the number line

What is a fraction and a decimal for a number line 0 through 1?
There are infinitely many fractions and decimals between 0 and 1.
What fraction is closest to 0?
There is no possible answer. For any given fraction, half that fraction is another fraction and it will be closer to 0. And then half of that will be closer still, and then half of that ... . Hope you get the idea.
Is 0 a fraction?
Of course 0 is not a fraction, when it is over 0 it is a whole number.
Where would you find a decimal on a number line?
A decimal number would be between 0 and 1. It represents a fraction, or portion, of 1.
How can you decide if a given fraction is closest to 0 or 1?
if its .5 or above its 1 if its .4 or below its 0
How do you put numbers on a number line?
A number line is composed of numbers in sequential order from a number A to a number B. For example, 1 2 3 4 5 would be a number line, if the numbers were arranged on a line with small "ticks" in order to define them. 5 4 3 2 1 would also be a number line, in a negative manner. Anything on the left of a number line is considered negative, anything on the right of a number line and the number 0 is considered positive.
