what would 6/7 be closer to 0, 1/2 or 1
I'll be glad to check your answer. What do you think?
1/2
Nope. Please think again.
6/7 = 12/14
1/2 = 7/14
1 = 14/14
Right.
To determine what 6/7 is closer to - 0, 1/2, or 1 - we can follow a simple process:
1. Find the decimal equivalent of the fraction 6/7.
- Divide the numerator (6) by the denominator (7).
- 6 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.857142857 (rounded to 9 decimal places).
2. Compare the resulting decimal with the given options: 0, 1/2, and 1.
- 0 = 0.00000000...
- 1/2 = 0.5
- 1 = 1.00000000...
From the decimal approximation we obtained in step 1 (0.857142857), we can determine that 6/7 is closest to 1 (1.00000000...) because the decimal value is closer to 1 than to either 0 (0.00000000...) or 1/2 (0.5).
