OF that fraction?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

numerator is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

denominator is 15

let us take numerator as x

this numerator is increased by 2

so it can be written as x+2

then fraction is x+2/15

it is equivalent to 4/5

now x+2/15=4/5

by cross multiplication

5x+10=60

x=10

then it increased by 2 so 12
