For exercices 45-50, between which two benchmarks ( Of 0, 1/2,1 1/2) does each fraction fall? Tell which is the nearer benchmark.
45. 3/5
46. 1 2/6
47. 12/10
48. 2/18
49. 1 8/10
50. 1 12/15
45. 3/5 is nearer to 1/2 46. 1 2/6 is nearer to 1 1/2. 1 2/6 can be simplified to 1 1/3 47. 12/10 is nearer to 1 1/2. 12/10 can be simplified to 1 2/10 and further simplified to 1 1/5. 48. 2/18 is nearer to 0. 2/18 can be simplified to 1/9 or 0.11 49. 1 8/10 is nearer to 1 1/2. 1 8/10 can be simplified to 1 4/5 50. 1 12/15 is nearer to 1 1/2. 1 12/15 can be simplified to 1 4/5.
3/5 is closer to 1/2 1 2/6 is closer to 1 1/2. 1 2/6 is equivalent to 1 1/3 12/10 is closer to 1 1/2. 12/10 is equivalent to 1 1/5. 2/18 is closer to 0. 2/18 can be simplified to 1/9 or 0.11 1 8/10 is closer to 1 1/2. 1 8/10 is equivalent to 1 4/5 1 12/15 is closer to 1 1/2. 1 12/15 is equivalent to 1 4/5 I hope this helps you
