One fourth is closer to zero than it is to one half. This can be understood by looking at the number line - one fourth is located closer to zero (0) than it is to one half (0.5). Mathematically, the difference between one fourth and zero is 0.25, while the difference between one fourth and one half is 0.25 as well.
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.
The number you can take away half of and leave nothing is zero. When you take away half of zero (which is also zero), you are left with zero. This is because zero divided by two is zero, and subtracting zero from zero leaves you with zero.
Closer than what?
One. Because 10/9 also means 1 1/9, which is closest to one.
It is closer to zero
zero aka 0
One half.
closer to zero
Closer to one.
closer to one
if you want it to be, then sure why not.

One fourth (.25) is closer to zero than one half (.5).
Two-fifths is 40%. Half is 50%. 40% is closer to 0% than 50% is.
I'm not sur bout dat either
To get an equivalent fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by any number except zero. Use the same number for both.
