5/4
To determine which number is closer to zero, we need to compare the absolute values of -4/5 and 5/4.
Absolute value is the distance of a number from zero on a number line. It tells us the magnitude of a number without considering its sign.
To calculate the absolute value of a fraction, you discard the negative sign (if any) and keep only the positive value. Absolute values of fractions are always positive.
In this case, the absolute value of -4/5 is 4/5, and the absolute value of 5/4 is 5/4.
Comparing these absolute values, we can see that 4/5 is smaller than 5/4 since the numerator is smaller in magnitude. Therefore, -4/5 is closer to zero than 5/4 is.
