Estimating Fractions
A. Fractions are close to 1
if the numerator and

denominator are close to

each other.
e.g. 3/4, 5/6, 9/11
B. Fractions are close to
1/2 if the numerator is
close to half the
dominator.
e.g. 4/7, 5/12, 5/9

C. Fractions are close to 0

if the numerator and
denominator are very
much apart from each
other.
e.g. 1/8, 2/20, 3/17
