well i would assume 8 since it is only 2.5 away numerically, or this is a trick question and the answer is the "?" or the 3 since they are proximity closest.

8! if you were to have 10.5 pizzas, its like 10 pizzas. 8 is closest to 10 with only 2 whole numbers, while the others have a difference from 10 between 5 and 7

8 is closest.
10.5-3=7.5
10.5-4=6.5
10.5-5=5.5
10.5-8=3.5
since 3.5 is the smallest difference, 8 is the closest to 10.5

Do you mean closest to -10.5 or |closest 10.5|? Maybe you copied it out of the book wrong?

it's 8 because it's near to 10.5

8
This can be explained by distabncce from 10.5
3 is 7.5
4 is 6.5
5 is 5.5
8 is 2.5
so 8 is at shortest distance in a number line or nearer so 8,.
