Question

By what percent will a fraction increase if its numerator is INCREASED by 60% and its denominator is decreased by 20%?

Answer 1

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

let , a/b is a fraction

=> a+60% = 1.6 a

and b-20% = 0.8b

so, the new fraction is

(1.6a) /(0.8b) = 2(a/b)

from a/b to 2(a/b) => increase 100%
