Is 5/6 closer to 1 or 0

The easiest way to think about this is to give all of the numbers common denominators:
1 can be written as 6/6
0 can be written as 0/6

Now we can see that 5/6 is only 1/6 away from 1, while it is 5/6 away from 0.

So, 5/6 is closer to 1!

It's closer to 1 because it is over half.

1 because 5/6 is almost a whole. It can't be 1/2 because it would have been 3/6. And it's not 2 because it should have been an improper faction

5/6 is closer to 1 because 6/6=1

To check weather 5/6 is closer to 1, 1/2 or 0 
you must have to divide it and convert it to the decimal form.
i.e. 5/6 = 0.833. We know that if the number is greater than 5 it is rounded to the next tens. i.e 0.83 = 1 
 
so 5/6 = 0.83 is nearest to 1
