Question

Leo is playing a computer game where he must multiply a number by a factor that increases the number's size each time. Which of the following factors could he multiply by to continue to increase the size of his number? (50 POINTS)

A six-fifths

B four-fourths

C two-thirds

D seven-twelfths

Answer 1

6/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 6/5

Explanation:

Let's say Leo's initial number size is x.

Now, multiply by six-fifth

6/5x > x

Since numerator is bigger the denominator (6 > 5)

If we multiple with four-fourths 4/4x = x(no increase)

Hence "The multiplication of a number with a bigger numerator of a fraction will cause it to increase thus he could have multiplied with six-fifth".

Hope this helped!
