8. A fraction has a numerator of 2 and a denominator greater than 8 , is the fraction closer to \( 0, \frac{1}{2} \), or 1 ?

When you have a fraction with a numerator of 2 and a denominator greater than 8, say 9 or 10, the fraction becomes \( \frac{2}{9} \) or \( \frac{2}{10} \) respectively, both of which are less than \( \frac{1}{2} \) (which is 0.5). As the denominator increases, the value of the fraction decreases. Since the denominator is always greater than 8, the fraction will always remain closer to 0 than to \( \frac{1}{2} \) or 1. In fact, \( \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \), which is already smaller than \( \frac{1}{2}\), and fractions like \( \frac{2}{9} \) or \( \frac{2}{10}\) confirm that they will approach 0 as the denominator increases. So, the answer is that it’s closer to 0!
