Answer 1

Adding a positive constant to both the top and bottom of a fraction between 0 and 1 will increase its value.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add the same positive constant to both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) of a fraction between 0 and 1, the value of the fraction will increase. This is because the addition of a positive constant increases both parts of the fraction, making the numerator larger than the denominator.
