Kind of an Answer:

The answer would be 0.8 is closer to 1/3; -1 is closer to -2/3; -1/2 is closer to -2/3; 0 is closer to 1/3

Steps Needed:

Find the absolute value distance of 0.8, -1, -1/2, and 0 from -2/3 and -1/3

0.8 is closer to 1/3

-1 is closer to -2/3

-1/2 is closer to -2/3

0 is closer to 1/3

To find the values with the distances, bring both of the values and find how far they are apart.

eg.

-1 and -2/3

-1 + 2/3 = 1/3 Away From Each Other

Then do the same with the other point, 1/3

-1 and 1/3

-1 - 1/3 = 4/3 Away From Each Other

Lastly, compare to see which number is smaller.

1/3 < 4/3

-1 is closer to -2/3 than to 1/3.
