Janiya Ferguson · Answer 1

You look at the fraction: 1/8

You determine if it's closer to 0, 0.5, or 1.

In this case it is closer to 0.

So the answer would be 5.

To round you must see if the fraction is greater or less than a half to see if you round up or down. 1/8 is less than 1/2, so you must round down. So the answer is 5.
