Lesson
One way to round fractions is to compare the numerator and the denominator. Fractions are usually rounded to the nearest half. Mixed numbers are usually rounded to the nearest whole.
Because 1 is much less than 8, round this to 0.
Becuase one third is less than one half,
we would round down to 4.
