I am not understanding what you are trying to do with the fractions? Place them on a number line? Can you give an example?

The closer the numerator is to the denominator, the closer it is to 1. For example, in the fraction 5/6, the numerator 5 is close to the denominator 6. Therefore, this fraction is closer to one. In the fraction 1/6, the numerator 1 is very far away from the denominator 6, so the fraction is closer to 0.
