To determine if an improper fraction is closer to 0 or 1, you can convert it to a mixed number. If the fraction is closer to 0, the whole number part of the mixed number will be 0, and if it is closer to 1, the whole number part will be 1. For example, if you have the improper fraction 5/7, when converted to a mixed number it becomes 0 5/7, indicating it is closer to 0 than 1.
2/5 is closer to 0.
