Answer:

4/10 is closer to 1/2.

Think of a pie. There are 10 slices total, but only 4 slices remain, because I ate them all! Do you think that 4 out of 10 slices would be closer to a whole pie or half a pie? It would be closer half a pie.

Further explanation:

If you were to round the number 44 to the closest ten, it would be 40. If you were to round 47 to he nearest ten, it would be 50. If you were to round 45 to the nearest ten, it would also be 50. I hope this helps!

Half (1/2) is the answer.

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Divide the denominator in half

10/2 = 5

4 is close to 5 so 4/10 is close to 1/2
