Question

The denominator of a fraction is 15. If the numerator is increased by 2. The new fraction is equivalent to 4/5 what is the numerator of that fraction?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given denominator = 15

Let the numerator = x

if the numerator is increased by 2= x+2

now the fraction = x+2/15

So, x+2/15= 4/5

x+2= 4/5×1/15

x+2= 12

x= 12-2

x=10

Therefore the numerator is 10
