Question

Writing to explain Sydney says that 4/8 is closer to 0 than to 1.Is she correct?explain

Answer 1

Yes, she is correct. Use an eight inch line for example, you have the whole line which is 1. If you count four of those inches and take them away from the line, it would only be 1/2 of what it was. 4/8 can simplify to 1/2, which is lesser than 1.
