45 is nearest to 50 because it is closer to 50 on the number line. When determining which number is closer, you can look at the distance between the numbers. In this case, the distance between 45 and 50 is 5, while the distance between 45 and 40 is 5 as well. Since 5 is smaller than 10, 45 is closer to 50 than it is to 40.

Since 40 + 5 = 45 and 50 - 5 = 45, 45 is exactly between 40 and 50. It is not closest to either number.
