It is closer to a half. 9/16=0.5625
A half.
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.
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.
1/2 is the same distance from 1 as from 0. It is not closer to either 1 or 0.
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.
It is closer to one half.
A half.

my answer is it closer to 0
It is closer to a half.
closer to zero

5/8 is closer to 1/2
neither exactly half way between both
1/2 is the same distance from 1 as from 0. It is not closer to either 1 or 0.
2/5 is less than half so would be closer to 0 than 1.
