Question

Which fraction is closest to zero? 1/4, 4/12, 3/8, or 2/6?

Answer 1

1/4=0.25

4/12= 1/3 =0.333......

3/8 = 0.375

2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333.....

so, 1/4 is closest to 0

Answer 2

$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \\ \frac{4}{12} = 0.66 \\ \frac{3}{8} = 0.37 \\ \frac{2}{6} = 0.66$
So closest value to 0 is 0.25 hence closest fraction is
$\frac{1}{4}$
