    Answer: the fractional increase is 1/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The initial area of Julio's living room was 1000 sq. ft. Then he added a room that was 20 ft. by 10 ft. The area of the room that was added to the living room would be

    20 * 10 = 200 square feet

    The new area of the room would be

    1000 + 200 = 1200 square feet

    Therefore, the fractional increase of the living space would be

    Increase in area/original area

    It becomes

    200/1000 = 1/5
