Question

If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 25% and the denominator is increased by 10%, it becomes 2/5. Find the original fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer of this question is 44/125

Answer 2

Answer:

The original fraction will be 44/125.

Explanation:

Let the original fraction be x/y

Now, after the changes we get the numerator as :( 125/100)* x

The denominator becomes: (110/100)*y

So the new fraction becomes:

[( 125/100)* x ]/ [110/100)*y which is equal to 2/5

So, x/y = (110*2)/( 125*5) = 44/125.

Hence, the original fraction before the changes is 44/125.
