PLEASE HELP ME

7. George placed the numbers -1/2 , 0.2 , 8/9 on the number line. Which of the numbers is furthest from zero?

A: -1/2
B: 0.2
C: 8/9

Answer 1

8/9 although it's not even equal to one, it's still very close and the others aren't

Answer 2

8/9
You have to put them all in the same type of decimal :

-1/2= -0,5 and 8/9 = 0,8888888888

Therefore you just have to see which one of the three numbers is bigger
