Answer: Numerator =3.
Denominator=7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator be x.
Then, the denominator is x+4.
After increasing,
Numerator will be x+2 and denominator will be x+9.
Given,
(x+2)/(x+9)=5/12
By cross multiplyind,
12(x+2)=5(x+9)
12x+24=5x+45
12x-5x=45-24
7x=21
x=3
So numerator is 3.
And, denominator is 3+4 = 7.
