Answer:
It increases x3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the fraction to begin with was 100/100. Ignore the fact that it isn't fully reduced and it is an improper fraction.
10% of 100 is 10, so the numerator is now 90 (decrease=get smaller; 100-10=90).
70% of 100 is 70, so the denominator is now 30 (decrease=get smaller; 100-70=30).
Our fraction is now 90/30 which, when fully reduced, equals 3.00. Since 100/100 equals 1.00, it has increased by 2.00 (3x bigger).
