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.
A decimal number would be between 0 and 1. It represents a fraction, or portion, of 1.
0.2 is the closest that you will get. The nearest integer, though, is 0.
Well, darling, the number closest to 0.1 is 0.1 itself. I mean, come on, it's right there next to it on the number line. But hey, if you want to get technical, 0.09 and 0.11 are the next closest numbers, so take your pick.
Rational numbers are infinitely dense and so there is no such number. If for example, you considered F1 to be the fraction that was closet to 0 then what about half that number? F2 = (F1)/2 is closer to 0. And then what about F3 = (F2)/2? This could go on for ever.
It is: 1 or -1
It is 0, but, if you insist, it can be written as 0/3.
It is -1 or 1 because they are both integers
Fractions are infinitely dense and this means that between any two fractions there an infinite number of fractions. If any fraction, f, laid claims to being the nearest, there would be infinitely many fractions between 0 and f and so infinitely many fractions which were closer to 0. This means that f could not be the closest. The argument can be used again and again and so there cannot be a fraction closest to 0.
-2/8 or -1/4 would go left of the 0 on the number line
There are infinitely many fractions and decimals between 0 and 1.

Of course 0 is not a fraction, when it is over 0 it is a whole number.

The integer/whole number closet to 0.1 is zero. If you can use decimal numbers, you will always be able to come up with a number closer to 0.1 than anyother number (exept 0.1 itself). For example 0.100000001 is very close to 0.1, but 0.10000000000000001 is even closer.
