Explanation

Calculate distances from 1: 0.8 is 0.2 away, 0.69 is 0.31 away, 1.08 is 0.08 away. The smallest distance is 0.08, so 1.08 is closest to 1.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Calculate distance from 1 to each number

  2. Step 2: 0.8: |1 - 0.8| = 0.2

  3. Step 3: 0.69: |1 - 0.69| = 0.31

  4. Step 4: 1.08: |1.08 - 1| = 0.08

  5. Step 5: Smallest distance is 0.08, so 1.08 is closest
