Think about the Giant Gazinch you made, then answer each question and write an example for each one.

1. If the numerator (number on the top of a fraction) is very small compared to the size of the denominator (number on the bottom of a fraction), what whole number will the fraction be closest to on a ruler?

   Hint (a):

   If the numerator is much smaller than the denominator, that means that the fraction will be quite small.

   Answer (a):

   The fraction will be closest to zero.

2. If the numerator is about half the size of the denominator, where will the fraction be on a ruler?

   Hint (b):

   Remember that when the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction represents a number less than one, but greater than zero.

   Answer (b):

   The fraction will be halfway between $0$ and $1$.

3. If the numerator of a fraction is about the same size as the denominator, where will the fraction be on a ruler?

   Hint (c):

   Use the clues and answers from parts (a) and (b) to figure out the answer to this problem.

4. If the numerator of a fraction is larger than the denominator, where will the fraction be on a ruler?

   Hint (d):

   Use the clues and answers from parts (a) and (b) to figure out the answer to this problem.
