For this case we have the following expression:


\frac {80} {h}

We substitute a small number h, that is,
h = 0.05

So:


\frac {80} {0.05} = 1600

It is observed that the value of the expression is very large, that is, it increases with small values of h

We substitute a large number h, that is,
h = 500

So:


\frac {80} {500} = 0.16

It is observed that the value of the expression decreases.

Answer:

The value of the given expression decreases when h increases from a small positive number to a large positive number.
