What happens if your numerator is bigger then your denominator?
It is then an improper or 'top heavy' fraction
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.
What happens when you multiply both a numerator and a denominator of a fraction by 4?
You will get an equivalent 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 to the fraction if the denominator and numerator are increased by the same amount?
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.
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 ======

You will get an equivalent 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

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 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 if you increase the numerator and denominator of an improper fraction by one?
Try it... Let's take 7/5 as a starter (decimal 1.4). This becomes 8/6 (decimal 1.33), so your value decreases.
What happens if you divide or multiply a ratio by different numbers?
If you mean multiplying numerator and denominator by different numbers, the result is then a different ratio. If you mean variously multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number on different occasions, the result is unchanged.
What happens to the size of the fraction as you decrease the numerator?
it get smaller, 4/4,3/4,2/4,1/4,
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.
