7/5 = 14/10 = 28/20

Numerator = x

Denominator = x-4

Add 3 to both:

x +3 / (x-4+3)

x+3 = 14

(x-4 +3) = 10 = x-1 = 10

x = 11

Check:

11 -4 = 7 ( denominator is 4 less than the numerator.)

add 3 to both:

11+3 = 14

7+3 = 10

14/10 reduces to 7/5

The original fraction would be 11/7

The two dot plots below compare the forearm lengths of two groups of schoolchildren:
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Group A, because seven children have a forearm length longer than 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the dot plots based on the given information (please see attached images).

Group A = blue dots

Group B = red dots

From inspection of the attached dot plots, we can see that Group A appears to have the longer average forearm length.  This is because 7 children have a forearm length of longer than 10 inches.

To calculate the average forearm length, sum all data values and divide by the total number of data values.

\textsf{Average of Group A}=\dfrac{ 3 \times 10 + 4 \times 11 + 3 \times 12}{10}=11

\textsf{Average of Group B}=\dfrac{ 3 \times 9 + 5\times 10+ 2\times 11}{10}=9.9

Thus proving that Group A has the longer average former length.
