would 11/20 be closer to 1 or 1/2
10/20 = 1/2
1/2 it halve because 10/20 is halve just like 1/2
I asked 11/20
To determine whether 11/20 is closer to 1 or 1/2, we can compare the distance between 11/20 and each of these two numbers.
First, let's find the distance between 11/20 and 1. We subtract 11/20 from 1:
1 - 11/20 = 20/20 - 11/20 = 9/20
The distance between 11/20 and 1 is 9/20.
Next, let's find the distance between 11/20 and 1/2. We subtract 11/20 from 1/2:
1/2 - 11/20 = 10/20 - 11/20 = -1/20
The distance between 11/20 and 1/2 is 1/20, but it is negative because we "overshot" 1/2.
Comparing the distances, we see that the distance between 11/20 and 1 is greater than the distance between 11/20 and 1/2. Therefore, 11/20 is closer to 1/2.
