Answer:

1. Closer to 25, 2. Closer to 13, 3. Closer to 18

Explanation:

So if you want to tell you to have to divide the denominator (the bottom) in half and if the top of the fraction is higher, then the number is closer to the next higher number. The same thing when it is smaller but it is closer to the smaller number.
