46. 1 2/6
47. 12/10
48. 2/18

50. 1 12/15

Answer 1

3/5 is closer to 1/2
1 2/6 is closer to 1 1/2. 1 2/6 is equivalent to 1 1/3
12/10 is closer to 1 1/2. 12/10 is equivalent to 1 1/5.
2/18 is closer to 0. 2/18 can be simplified to 1/9 or 0.11
1 8/10 is closer to 1 1/2. 1 8/10 is equivalent to 1 4/5
1 12/15 is closer to 1 1/2. 1 12/15 is equivalent to 1 4/5
I hope this helps you
