resultant fraction [#permalink] New post   06 Jun 2022, 00:16
Hi,
I don’t understand why, what is the reason behind it "We are adding 2 to the numerator and 3 to the denominator (x/y), so we know the resultant fraction will move closer to 2/3. "
Thanks

Hi arbre,

If you are referring to a specific GMAT Quant question, then it would help if you posted the entire prompt (and if that prompt already appears in the Quant forums, then posting there will likely get you more of a response).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
