Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each fraction

• $\frac{1}{10}$: Since $\frac{1}{10}=0.1$, it is close to 0.
• $\frac{3}{8}$: $\frac{3}{8} = 0.375$, which is about $\frac{1}{2}(0.5)$ (close to 0.5).
• $\frac{2}{4}$: $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$, so it is exactly $\frac{1}{2}$.
• $\frac{9}{10}$: $\frac{9}{10}=0.9$, which is close to 1.

Step2: Match with options

Check each option's columns:

• Option A: $\frac{1}{10}$ (close to 0), $\frac{3}{8}$ (about $\frac{1}{2}$), $\frac{2}{4}$ (exactly $\frac{1}{2}$), $\frac{9}{10}$ (close to 1) – matches our analysis.
• Option B: $\frac{3}{8}$ is not close to 0, $\frac{1}{10}$ is not about $\frac{1}{2}$ – incorrect.
• Option C: $\frac{2}{4}$ is not about $\frac{1}{2}$ (it's exactly $\frac{1}{2}$), $\frac{3}{8}$ is not exactly $\frac{1}{2}$ – incorrect.
• Option D: $\frac{9}{10}$ is not exactly $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{2}$ (from $\frac{2}{4}$) is not present – incorrect.

Answer:

A. Close to 0: $\frac{1}{10}$, About $\frac{1}{2}$: $\frac{3}{8}$, Exactly $\frac{1}{2}$: $\frac{2}{4}$, Close to 1: $\frac{9}{10}$
