both parts, the resulting fraction is equivalent to4/5 Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer for the given problem is given

Answer 2

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction be x

The denominator is 3 more than numerator = (x+3)

According to the question

When 5 is added to both parts we get,

4/5

So,

⇒ [x + 5 ]/[(x+3) + 5 ] = 4/5

⇒ (x+5)/(x+8) = 4/5

⇒ 5(x+5) = 4(x+8)

⇒ 5x + 25 = 4x + 32

⇒ 5x - 4x = 32 - 25

⇒ x = 7

Therefore,

Numerator is x = 7

And denominator = (x+3) = 3 + 7 = 10

So,

Required fraction is 7/10
