To determine who painted a fraction closer to 0 than to 1, we need to compare the fractions painted by Adelyn and Hudson.
Adelyn painted 3/8 of her canvas, while Hudson painted 5/8 of his canvas.
To compare these fractions, we need to convert them both to decimal form.
The decimal form of 3/8 is 0.375 (since 3 divided by 8 equals 0.375).
The decimal form of 5/8 is 0.625 (since 5 divided by 8 equals 0.625).
Now, we can see that 0.375 is closer to 0 than to 1, while 0.625 is closer to 1 than to 0.
Therefore, Adelyn painted a fraction that is closer to 0 than to 1.
Half of the canvas would be 4/8 which is 1/2.
Which of your numbers is less than 4/8?
This gives you pictures of various fractions.
