Answer:

  • closest to 0: 0.0009999
  • closest to 1/2: 48/100, 0.67

Explanation:

The numbers are shown plotted on a number line in the attachment. The X marks the boundary where the "closest to ..." value changes.

The tenths digit of 0 in 0.0009999 indicates that number is closer to 0 than to 0.5 or 1.0.

The other two numbers are between 0.25 and 0.75, so are closer to 1/2 than to zero or 1.

For Exercises 1-6, determine whether the number is closest to 0, 1/2, or 1. Explain-example-1
