Question

Which of the following numbers is closest to 0 ?

-1/8

1/4

0.2%

-|-0.1|

π

Answer 1

-1/8 = -0.125
1/4 = 0.25
0.2% = 0.2/100 = 2/1000 = 0.002
-\(|\)-1\(|\) = -0.1
\(\pi\) = 3.1415...

Answer 2

so... which one is closest to 0?

Answer 3

I think its -|-1|

Answer 4

Or 0.2%

Answer 5

0.002 is closer to zero, compared to -1, just apply the modulus of teh difference:
\(|\)-1-0\(|\) = 1
\(|\)0.002-0\(|\) = 0.002
But 0.002 < 1, so 0.2% is the closest one to zero

Answer 6

Yeah I agree @M4thM1nd
