Answer:

171/112

Explanation:

It can be helpful to write these as mixed numbers.

45/17 = 2 11/17

90/19 = 4 14/19

63/10 = 6 3/10

171/112 = 1 59/112

85/18 = 4 13/18

Then the ordering would be ...

0 < 1 59/112 < 2 11/17 < 4 13/18 < 4 14/19 < 6 3/10

The number closest to zero is 1 59/112 = 171/112.
