Question

If the given ratio of $\frac{1}{6}$, add $4$ to the antecedent and $2$ to the consequent. Then the new ratio is

• A. $\frac{5}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{5}{8}$
• D. $\frac{8}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{5}{8}$

Given ratio $=\frac{1}{6}$

Now we add $4$ to $Antecedent$ or $Numerator$ and $2$ to $Consequent$ or $Denominator$ as shown

$\Rightarrow \frac{1+4}{6+2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{8}$

Therefore Answer is $\left(C\right)$
