which farction is closet in vaule to 1 ?
A.3/5 B.2/3 C.1/2 D.7/10
I suggest you convert these fractions to decimals. Then you can easily determine their relative values.
Convert all the fractions to fractions with the same denominator, using the LCD.
A. 18/30
B. 20/30
C. 15/30
D. 21/30
Now, wouldn't the largest fraction be closest in value to 1?
think about it pleaase?
What???
We will not give you the answer. But helper and I gave you two different ways of finding the answer.
1/2
How did you get 1/2?
1/2 is only half away from 1 whole
1/2 is the farthest from 1 whole. Th other three are closer. Using the equivalents that helper posted, which one is closest to 1?
Hint: 30/30 = 1
