it is closer to one because one third isn't fully half and the one is a full one ! :)
The number 0 is closer to 0 than 1. This is because the distance between 0 and 0 is 0, while the distance between 1 and 0 is 1. In mathematical terms, the absolute value of 0 minus 0 is 0, while the absolute value of 1 minus 0 is 1. Therefore, 0 is closer to 0 than 1.
closer to zero

Is four eight closer to 0 or 1
1/3 of an ounce
The fraction closer to 0 than 1 is 1/8
One-third is one divided by three. One-third lies between 0 and 1 on the number-line Similarly.... Negative one-third is negative one divided by three. It lies between -1 and 0 on the number-line. So no, -1 and -1/3 are not equal.
