Answer:

It is closer to
1 than
0, so the statement is True.

Explanation:

Step 1: Finding the decimal form of
(8)/(11)

Upon simplification on a calculator, we can see that the exact value of
(8)/(11) is:


0.7272727273

Let's round this to
0.73 for an easier time.

Step 2: Identifying the value's difference from 1 and 0

We have found the value of the fraction to be
0.73.

If we subtract the value from
1, we get:


1-0.73\\=0.27

If we find the difference between it and
0, we get:


0.73-0\\=0.73

As we can see, the value is
0.27 units away from
1, but is
0.73 units away from
0.

We can clearly see that it is closer to
1, so the statement is True.
