Question

What is 3/8 to the nearest half? I need an explanation too cause I don't understand how to say it :)))

Answer 1

HOP IT HELPS

3/8=1.5/4

because when you divide

3÷2 and 8÷2

you get

1.5/ 4

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

3/8 to the nearest 1/2.

The question wants to know if you round 3/8 to the nearest half, what value would that be? On a number line from 0 to 1, we could mark every 1/8 unit:

0/8==1/8==2/8==3/8==4/8==5/8==6/8==7/8==8/8

Note that 0/8 is 0, 4/8 is 1/4 and 8/8 is 1.

3/8 is one step from 4/8, or 1/2. So the nearest half would be 1/2.
