Yes, the given point 1/4 lie closer to 0& 1/2 than 1

A decimal number is a number that consists of a whole number and a fractional part separated by a point. For example – 3.5, 6.79, 78.32, etc.

Given here: Given the proper fraction as 1/4

To convert a fraction to a decimal, we'll just divide the numerator...by the denominator.

Thus 1/4=0.25

1/2=0.5

Now the difference between each of the given points is 1/2-1/4=0.25

And 1/4-0=0.25

Also 1-1/4=0.75

Thus the point 1/4 is equidistant from the points 0 and 1/2 but is 0.75 units away from 1

Hence, The given point 1/4 lie closer to 0& 1/2 than 1

Question:

Is 1/4 closer to 0, 1/2, 1?
