Answer 1

use a visual diagram. if you had 2/5, then if u were rounding to fourths, use a long strip of paper and cut it evenly into fourths, and another in fifths. then compare. soon, you will be able to do it really quickly. hope that helps!

Answer 2

what answers do u have? and does it have to be in a fraction form or decimal

rounding for the nearest 1/4 would be rounding in the decimal form to either .25, .50, .75, or 1.00, plus the rest of the answer because they are all decimal forms for 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4

the same would be true for the 1/8

but if u need it in the fraction form multiply the number by 8/8 or 4/4 which would give u a number over 8 or 4 consecutatively and then round the top number in the new fraction to the nearest whole number....

if its already in a fraction then you would have to multiply or divide the fraction top and bottom by the number that would make the bottom number a 4 or 8

Answer 3

well 1/4 is 2x 1/8 so the answer is 2. if i saw the whole problem i might be more help.
