Question

What happens to the value of a fraction if the denominator of the fraction is decreased while the numerator is kept unchanged?

Answer 1

Value of a fraction if the denominator decreased.

When the fraction's denominator is reduced but the numerator remains constant. The value of the fraction then rises.

Example:

Let's say a fraction is $\frac{10}{5}$, where the numerator is $10$ and the denominator is $5$.

The value of the fraction is, $\frac{10}{5}=2$

Now denominator is decreased to $4$ and keep the numerator unchanged.

The value of the fraction is,$\frac{10}{4}=2.5$

Hence, the value of the fraction increases , when the denominator is decreased and the numerator is constant.
