Answer:

The number b is bigger than the number a by 1/4 of a.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number a is smaller than the number b by 1/5 of b, then

a + 1/5b = b.

Thus,

a= b - 1/5b= 4/5,

b= 5/4 a.

Consider the Expression b=5/4a:

b=5/4a= 4/4a+ 1/4a= a +1/4a

This gives that the number b is bigger than the number a by 1/4 of a.
