Which of the following numbers is closest to 1 ?
(A) $\frac{11}{10}$
(B) $\frac{111}{100}$
(C) 1.101
(D) $\frac{1111}{1000}$
(E) 1.011
When we convert each of the possible answers to a decimal, we obtain 1.1, 1.11, 1.101, 1.111, and 1.011 .

Since the last of these is the only one greater than 1 and less than 1.1, it is closest to 1 .
