Question

Which of the following fraction is closest to 0? a. 5/12
b. 2/3
c. 5/6
d. 3/4​

Answer 1

A 5/12

Explanation:

first you need to round these all to /12 so a is 5/12

12/3 is 4 so multiply 4 by two which means b is 8/12

12/6 is 2 so multiply 5 by two which gives us c = 10/12

12/4 is 3 and multiply 3 x 3 which is 9 so d is 9/12

5 is the lowest decimal/fraction which makes it the closest to 0

Answer 2

(a) 5/12

Explanation:

to solve this problem you can make all fractions equivalent with 12 as the denominator

a) 5/12

b) 2/3 = 8/12 Multiply top and bottom by 4

c) 5/6 = 10/12 Multiply top and bottom by 2

d) 3/4 = 9/12 Multiply top and bottom by 3

if you compare numerators, the smallest one is the closest to zero, which would be (a) 5/12
