In ratios, when \(numerator < denominator\) that is \(\frac{numerator}{denominator}<1\) and we add a quantity X to both numerator and denominator
it becomes greater than the original fraction.

Consider the number line,
0------------1

Now, we take a fraction \(\frac{1}{3}\) which is between 0 and 1.

We add the same quantity N > 0 to numerator and denominator and the overall fraction moves closer to 1.

Let's see

Adding 1 to both numerator and denominator

\(\frac{1+1}{3+1} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}\)

\(\frac{1}{3} = 0.33\)

\(\frac{1}{2} = 0.5\)

Take another example, add 5 to both numerator and denominator
\(\frac{1+5}{3+5} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}\)

\(\frac{1}{3} = 0.33\)

\(\frac{3}{4} = 0.75\)

From the above examples we see that when \(\frac{A}{B }< 1\) then \(\frac{A+X}{B+X} > \frac{A}{B}\) when X > 0
