Question

2. The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than the denominator. If 1 is added to both its numerator and denominator, it becomes 2/3 .Find the fraction. ( by transposing method)

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be N and denominator be D

So, the required fraction will be

According to question,

The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than denominator, that is ,

N = D - 3

So, the new fraction is

Also, it is given that if 1 is added to both its numerator and denominator it becomes 2 / 3

Therefore now,

3 ( D - 2 ) = 2 ( D + 1 )

3 D - 6 = 2 D + 2

3 D - 2 D = 2 + 6

D = 8

We know,

N = D - 3

N = 8 - 3 = 5

So the fraction  =

Hence,

The fraction is
