Answer:

a) If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes?

= 4/5

b) What is the original fraction?

= 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

a) If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes .

2:3 = 2/3

We are told that both numerator and denominator are increased by 2, hence:

2 + 2/3 + 2

= 4/5

b) What is the original fraction?

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

Hence, the original fraction is:

2:3 = 2/3
