Assuming a proper fraction which is positive (value between 0 and 1), it increases; asymptotically tending to 1 as the amounts that you increase by become larger.
If it is negative you must select a negative numerator and a positive denominator. Then it behaves as above. Otherwise you could hit division by 0.

What happens to the fraction if the numerator is increased?
If the numerator of the fraction is increased and the denominator doesn't change, then the value of the fraction increases.

You will get an equivalent fraction.
What happens when decrease in numerator and increase in denominator?
The fraction gets smaller or increases, depending on whether the numerator and denominator are positive or negative.
What happens if your numerator is bigger then your denominator?
It is then an improper or 'top heavy' fraction
What happens when you multiply the numerator and denominator in a fraction by nine?
You get an equivalent fraction which is not in its reduced (or simplest) form.

You will get an equivalent fraction.
What happens to a fraction if its denominator is increased or decreased?
If a fraction's denominator is increased, the number gets smaller. If a fraction's denominator is decreased, the number gets bigger.
What happens if you get an improper fraction in a mixed number?
An improper fraction in a mixed number means that the integer part of the mixed number should be increased: the denominator goes into the numerator at least one more type.An improper fraction in a mixed number means that the integer part of the mixed number should be increased: the denominator goes into the numerator at least one more type.An improper fraction in a mixed number means that the integer part of the mixed number should be increased: the denominator goes into the numerator at least one more type.An improper fraction in a mixed number means that the integer part of the mixed number should be increased: the denominator goes into the numerator at least one more type.
What happens when decrease in numerator and increase in denominator?
The fraction gets smaller or increases, depending on whether the numerator and denominator are positive or negative.
What happens when you multiply a fraction by a fraction?
Just multiply straight through. Numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. a/b * c/d = ac/bd ======
What happens if your numerator is bigger then your denominator?
It is then an improper or 'top heavy' fraction
What happens to the value of a fraction when you double its denominator?
You have to double the numerator, but the value of the fraction remians the same but if you dont double the numerator then you dont have the same fraction
What happens when you multiply the numerator and denominator in a fraction by nine?
You get an equivalent fraction which is not in its reduced (or simplest) form.
What happens when you multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by 4?
The value of the fraction remains unchanged
When the numerator is the same as the denominator what happens?
The fraction reduces to 1 - UNLESS they are both zero, in which case the fraction is undefined.
What happens to the size of a positive fraction when the the numerator is increased by 1?
The size increase.
