What fraction is closest to 0?
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.
Where would you find a decimal on a number line?
A decimal number would be between 0 and 1. It represents a fraction, or portion, of 1.
What is the number closest in value to 0.2?
0.2 is the closest that you will get. The nearest integer, though, is 0.
What is the number closest in value to 0.1?
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.
What does the fraction number line look like?
The fraction number line (its more sophisticated name is "Rational Number Line") looks like an ordinary straight line, but each submicroscopic point on the line represents a number which can be represented as a fraction of two integers. The number "zero" stands at the center of the line, and there are an infinite number of points in the line. No matter how close together two fractions are, there are an infinite number of fractions between them. A number line is a strictly theoretical concept. It really isn't possible to draw more than an extremely limited example of a number line, since there is no limit to the number of points on a number line. Here's a very primitive fraction number line, showing only halves: -7/2 ... -3 ... -5/2 ... -2 ... -3/2 ... -1 ... -1/2 ... 0 ... 1/2 ... 1 ... 3/2 ... 2 ... 5/2 ... 3 ... 7/2 And an only slightly more intricate line showing only sevenths: -6/7 ... -5/7 ... -4/7 ... -3/7 ... -2/7 ... -1/7 ... 0 ... 1/7 ... 2/7 ... 3/7 ... 4/7 ... 5/7 ... 6/7
What fraction is closest to 0 on number line?
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.
Which integer is closest to 0 on the number line?
It is: 1 or -1
What is the value 0 written as a fraction on a number line of thirds?
It is 0, but, if you insist, it can be written as 0/3.
Which integer below is closest to 0 on a number line?
It is -1 or 1 because they are both integers
Where would the fraction -2 8ths go on a number line?
-2/8 or -1/4 would go left of the 0 on the number line
What fraction is closest to zero?
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.
What is a fraction and a decimal for a number line 0 through 1?
There are infinitely many fractions and decimals between 0 and 1.
What fraction is closest to 0?
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.
Is 0 a fraction?
Of course 0 is not a fraction, when it is over 0 it is a whole number.
Where would you find a decimal on a number line?
A decimal number would be between 0 and 1. It represents a fraction, or portion, of 1.
Which number is closest to 0.1?
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.
How can you decide if a given fraction is closest to 0 or 1?
if its .5 or above its 1 if its .4 or below its 0
