What will be the result obtained when the numerator of \(\frac{96}{50}\) is decreased by 37.5% and its denominator decreased by 20%.
- A. 1.5
- B. \(\frac{5}{2}\)
- C. \(\frac{96}{48}\)
- D. 0.5
Correct Answer: A. 1.5
Explanation
Numerator: 96 → 37.5% of 96 = 36
Decreased by 36 → 96 - 36
New numerator = 60
Denominator: 50 → 20% of 50 = 10
Decreased by 10 → 50 - 10 = 40
New Denominator = 40
New fraction = \(\frac{60}{40}\) or 1.5
