Question

if the numerator of a fraction is increased by 150 percent and the denominator is increased by 200 percent and the resultant is 1/ 18​

Answer 1

Answer:

ORIGINAL FRACTION = 1 / 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Numerator be N .

And denominator be D .

Numerator is increased by 150 % .

Denominator is increased by 200 % .

Numerator after increasing

= N + 150% N

= N + 150 N / 100

= N + 3N / 2

= 5N / 2

Denominator after increasing

= D + 200 % D

= D + 200 D / 100

= D + 2D

= 3D

A.T.Q,

5N / 2 × 3D = 1 / 18

5N / 6D = 1 / 18

N / D = 1 × 6 / 18 × 5

N / D = 1 / 15

ORIGINAL FRACTION = 1 / 15
