Question

If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 250% and denominator is increased/decreased 2 times so the resultant fraction is 5/8 .so find the original fraction.

Answer 1

yeah I 2 think that the ans is 1:2

Answer 2

The original fraction is 1/2.

Given,

The number of a fraction is increased by 250% and the denominator is increased 2 times.

The resultant fraction is 5/8.

To Find,

The original fraction.

Solution,

Let the numerator of the fraction be x and the denominator of the fraction be y.

So,

250% of x = 2.5x

Now, according to the question

2.5x/2y = 5/8

x/y = 5/8*2/2.5

x/y = 5/8*4/5

x/y = 1/2

Hence, the original fraction is 1/2.
