Thankns
is 1/9 over 1/2 or under?

well 1/2 is 4.5/9
so halfway between 0 and 1/2 is 2.25/9
1 is less than 2,25 so
Zero
WHAT!!!!!!!!!
To round fractions to the nearest 1/2, you need to determine whether the numerator is closer to the next smaller or next bigger multiple of 1/2.
Let's go through the examples you provided:
1/9:
To determine the nearest 1/2, we compare it to 1/2 and 1, which are multiples of 1/2.
1/9 is closer to 0 than 1/2 because 1/9 is smaller than 1/2. Therefore, we round 1/9 down to 0.
The answer is A. 0.
14/27:
Similarly, we compare 14/27 to 1/2 and 1.
14/27 is closer to 1/2 than 1 because 14/27 is smaller than 1/2. Thus, we round 14/27 down to 1/2.
The answer is A. 1/2.
In summary, the rounded fractions for the given examples are:
1/9 rounds down to 0, and
14/27 rounds down to 1/2.
