<h3>
Kind of an Answer:</h3>
The answer would be <em>0.8 is closer to 1/3; -1 is closer to -2/3; -1/2 is closer to -2/3; 0 is closer to 1/3</em>
<h3>
Steps Needed:</h3>
Find the absolute value distance of 0.8, -1, -1/2, and 0 from -2/3 and -1/3
0.8 is closer to 1/3
-1 is closer to -2/3
-1/2 is closer to -2/3
0 is closer to 1/3
To find the values with the distances, bring both of the values and find how far they are apart.
eg.
<u>-1</u> <em>and</em> <u>-2/3</u>
-1 + 2/3 = <u>1/3 Away From Each Other</u>
Then do the same with the other point, 1/3
<u>-1</u> <em>and</em> <u>1/3</u>
-1 - 1/3 = <u>4/3 Away From Each Other</u>
Lastly, compare to see which number is smaller.
1/3 < 4/3
<em>-1 is closer to -2/3 than to 1/3.</em>
