Notice that the general form of what we're given is :

 

x /[x + 11]    where x is the integer in the numerator.......look at this graph.....

Notice that, as x gets larger and larger, the graph gets closer and closer to 1.....thus.....Biotomic121 is correct.....the fraction with the largest numerator (56/67) will be closer to 1 than any of the other fractions...!!!
