Question

Is 3/8 estimated to be closer to 0 or 1?

Answer 1

3/8 is less than 4/8 which is also 1/2. this means 3/8 is closer to 1

Answer 2

The cut-off point is 0.5: higher than this would be closer to 1, and lower would be closer to 0

and 3/8 is lower than 0.5: we know this because a bigger number, 4/8 is equal to 0.5

so it's closer to 0!
