Answered by Ms. Sue
I suggest you convert these fractions to decimals. Then you can easily determine their relative values.

Answered by helper
Convert all the fractions to fractions with the same denominator, using the LCD.

A. 18/30
B. 20/30
C. 15/30
D. 21/30

Now, wouldn't the largest fraction be closest in value to 1?

How did you get 1/2?

Answered by cindy
1/2 is only half away from 1 whole

1/2 is the farthest from 1 whole. Th other three are closer. Using the equivalents that helper posted, which one is closest to 1?

Hint: 30/30 = 1

Right.

That's the largest fraction and is closest to 1.
