If equal amounts are added to the numerator and the denominator of the current ratio, the ratio will always:

Increase?

Step-by-step explanation:

Because think about it let's use 1/2 as an example.

1/2 equals .5 now lets add 2 to both the numerator and denominator

3/4 is the result and it also equals .75 which is larger than .5 so that's why the answer is increase.

and u can keep on going on with the method

4/5=.8

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
