Question

Which one is closer to 1 whole , 1 1/4 , 1 1/12 , 1 5/12 ? explain

Answer 1

1 1/2

Explanation:

We need to convert all of these into one denominator. 1 1/4 needs to be converted into 12ths. 4 x 3 = 12 1 x 3 = 3. Our new fraction instead of 1 1/4 is 1 3/12.

Which is closer to the whole number?

1 1/12 is 1/12 away from a whole number

1 3/12 is 3/12 away from a whole number

1 5/12 is 5/12 away from a whole number

Hope this helps!
