To determine if 3 over 5 is closer to 0, 1/2, or 1 whole, we can convert 3/5 to decimal form, which equals 0.6. Comparing this to the given options, 0.6 is closer to 1/2 (0.5) than it is to 1 whole (1.0). Therefore, 3 over 5 is closer to 1/2 than to 0 or 1 whole.
A half.
It is closer to a half. 9/16=0.5625
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.
2 fifths is equivalent to 0.4, which is closer to 0 than it is to 0.5 (1 half) or 1. To determine this, you can think of the number line where 0 is closer to 0.4 than 0.5, making 0 the closest whole number.
To determine which number 3/8 is closer to, we can find the absolute differences between 3/8 and each of the given numbers: 0, 1.5, and 1. The absolute difference between 3/8 and 0 is 3/8, the absolute difference between 3/8 and 1.5 is 9/8, and the absolute difference between 3/8 and 1 is 5/8. Therefore, 3/8 is closest to 1 out of the three options provided.
my answer is it closer to 0
It is closer to one half.

closer to zero
2 fifths is equivalent to 0.4, which is closer to 0 than it is to 0.5 (1 half) or 1. To determine this, you can think of the number line where 0 is closer to 0.4 than 0.5, making 0 the closest whole number.
Let's do the math: 1/5 = .20 0 = .00 1/2 = one half = .50 1/1 = one whole = 1.0 The distance between 1/5 and 0 is the shortest (only .20 away), and thus, 0 is the closest to 1/5.
To determine which number 3/8 is closer to, we can find the absolute differences between 3/8 and each of the given numbers: 0, 1.5, and 1. The absolute difference between 3/8 and 0 is 3/8, the absolute difference between 3/8 and 1.5 is 9/8, and the absolute difference between 3/8 and 1 is 5/8. Therefore, 3/8 is closest to 1 out of the three options provided.
When rounding one third, you would typically round it to the nearest whole number or fraction. In this case, one third would round to 0 if rounding to the nearest whole number, and it would round to one half if rounding to the nearest half. Rounding to the nearest whole number would result in rounding down to 0, while rounding to the nearest half would result in rounding up to one half.
