Answer:

The original fraction is \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator by X

Denominator is three more than its numerator i.e X +3

When both the numerator and denominator are increased by one the fraction becomes 1/2

\frac{X + 1}{X+3+1} = \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{X+1}{X+4} = \frac{1}{2} \\2X + 2 = X+4\\X = 2

Thus, numerator = 2

Denominator = X +3 = 2+3 = 5

The original fraction is \frac{2}{5}

Eva is 29 years old and has 2 children, ages 3 and 5.  She makes $48,500 a year.  Eva decides to buy a $400,000 10-year term pol
nirvana33 [79]
I believe it's A. <span>Eva would have been better off selecting the 20-year term policy.
Unde current circumtances, 10-year term policy wouldn't guarantee thesafety of the kids because even after the policy ends, Eva's kids still haven't entered the age where they could find their own income (they would be 12, 13, and 15).
If Eva decided to add another 10 year despite the extra charge, The kids will be covered until they enter the productive age.</span>
