Algebra.Com's Answer #458061 by dkppathak(439)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let fraction is x/y \n" ); document.write( "when numerator increase by 200% \n" ); document.write( "means numerator will be x+2x =3x \n" ); document.write( "and denominator increased by 300% means denominator will be y = 3y =4y \n" ); document.write( "new fraction will be 3x/4y =6/66 (given) \n" ); document.write( "we can say \n" ); document.write( "3x/4y = 6/11 \n" ); document.write( "dividing numerator by 3 and denominator by 4 both side we will get \n" ); document.write( "x/y =6/3/11/4 \n" ); document.write( "x/y=6x4/11x3 \n" ); document.write( "x/y =24/33 \n" ); document.write( "x/y =8/11 \n" ); document.write( "answer \n" ); document.write( "fraction will be 8/11 \n" ); document.write( " |
