Question

Is 7/8 or 11/10 closer to 1 whole? how did you decide?

Answer 1

Convert the fractions into decimals:
7/8 = 0.875
11/10 = 1.1
0.875 is 0.125 away from 1
and 1.1 is only 0.1 away from 1
So 11/10 is closer to whole number 1

Answer 2

7/8 is 1/8 away from 1 and 11/10 is 1/10 away and since 1/10 is less than 1/8, 11/10 would be closer to 1.
