The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. If the numerator and denominator are both increased by 2, the fraction is now equal to . If n = the numerator and d = the denominator, which of the following systems of equations could be used to solve the problem?

a 3n = 5d and 3n + 6 = 2d + 4
b 5n = 3d and 3n + 6 = 2d + 4
c 5n = 3d and 4n + 4 = 3d + 6

You probably missed that when the numerator and denominator are both decreased by 2, the new fraction is now equal to 1/2.

The numerator of the fraction is "n" and the denominator of the fractions is "d". Initially the numerator and denominator are in the ratio 3 to 5.
