Question

If the numerator of fraction is increased by 25% and the denominator increased by 10% it becomes 2/5 find the original fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

here your answer............

Step-by-step explanation:

• let numerator be p

• and denominator be q

then the fraction becomes p/q

According to question,

If the numerator of fraction is increased

by 25% and the denominator

increased by 10% it becomes 2/5

thus,

(p + p × 25/100)/(q + q × 10/100) = 2/5

[100p + 25p]/100/[100q + 10q]/100 = 2/5

[125p/100]/[110q/100] = 2/5

125p/110q = 2/5

p/q = 2/5 × 110/125

p/q = 220/625

p/q = 44/125

Therefore the original fraction is

44/125.
