The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3. If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes . What is the original fraction?

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

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
