Question
If 5 is added to both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction `5/9`, will the value of the fraction be changed? If so, will the value increase or decrease?
Sum
Solution
Given fraction = `5/9`
Now, adding 5 to numerator and denominator = `(5 + 5)/(9 + 5) = 10/14 = 5/7`
Obviously, `5/7 > 5/9`
So, the value will increase.
