To round the fraction 1/9 to the nearest 1/2, we need to determine which half it is closer to.
Step 1: Identify the numerator of the fraction that represents the closest half. In this case, it is 1/2.
Step 2: Find the difference between the given fraction and the numerator of the closest half (1/9 - 1/2).
1/9 - 1/2 = (1/18 - 9/18) = -8/18
Step 3: Compare the absolute value of the difference obtained in step 2.
| -8/18 | = 8/18 = 4/9
Step 4: Determine the rounded fraction based on the comparison:
- If the absolute value of the difference (4/9 in this case) is less than 1/4, we round down to the lower half. Therefore, the fraction becomes 0.
- If the absolute value of the difference is equal to or greater than 1/4, we round up to the higher half. Therefore, the fraction becomes 1/2.
So, when rounding 1/9 to the nearest 1/2, the answer is 0.
