Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator of fraction is 1 less than its denominator. If the numerator is increased by 4 and the denominator is increased by 5, the new fraction becomes equivalent to 4/5. what is the original fraction?

Let n = numerator

d = denominator

n = d - 1

\frac{d - 1}{d}

\frac{d - 1 + 4}{d + 5} = \frac{4}{5}

\frac{d + 3}{d+ 5} = \frac{4}{5}

cross multiply

5(d + 3) = 4(d + 5)

5d + 15 = 4d + 20

d = 5

n = d - 1

5 - 1 = 4

original fraction 4/5

Answer:

The answer instead is 10:14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, there are ten boys and fourteen girls in this class. The ration would then be 10:14. Instead, Jeff said 5:12 which isn't correct. He can correct it by using the number of boys given, find the difference of girls in a class of twenty-four students, and then get his answer!
