Question

) Which are closer together: 1/4 and 1/2, or 1/2 and 3/5? Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 and 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

convert all fraction in decimal format.

1/4= 0.25

1/2 = 0.50

3/5 = 0.6

now take diff of each pair ,smaller the diff, nearer the elements of pair.

1/4 & 1/2 = diff is 0.25

1/2 and 3/5 = diff is 0.10

clearly the elements of second pair is closer.

consequently you can check it by putting all elements on number line
