Answer:

I think these are right, assuming you can use only one digit

Closest to 0: 1/9

Closest to half: 4/9 or 5/9

Closest to one: 8/9

Explanation:

Closest to 0: Numerator of 1, need largest denominator

Closest to half: Largest denominator, numerator close to half of denominator

Closest to one: largest denominator, numerator is denominator minus one
