Question

By what percent will the fraction change if its numerator is increased by 25% and its denominator is increased by 20%? please answer it by 4:20

Answer 1

Answer:

The new fraction will chnage by 1.25 : 1.2 ratio, (i.e) = 1.04 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be represented as $\frac{x}{y}$ where x is the numerator and y is the denominator

Given that numerator will increase by 25 %, = 25% x

   = 0.25 x

Given that denominator will increase by 20 %, = 20% y

   = 0.2 y

The new fraction becomes  = $\frac{x + 0.25 x}{y + 0.2 y}$

= $\frac{1.25 x}{1.2 y}$

= $(\frac{1.25}{1.2} ) \frac{x}{y}$

The new fraction will chnage by 1.25 : 1.2 ratio, (i.e) = 1.04 %
