Required Answer:-
Given:
- The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than the denominator.
- If the numerator and denominator are increased by 2, the new fraction becomes 6/7
To find:
- The original fraction.
Solution:
➡ Let the numerator be x.
Therefore,
Denominator will be,
= x + 3
Therefore,
➡ Original fraction = x/(x + 3)
New fraction,
= (x + 2)/((x + 3) + 2) [numerator and denominator are increased by 2]
= (x + 2)/(x + 5)
Now, according to the given condition,
➡ (x + 2)/(x + 5) = 6/7
➡ 7(x + 2) = 6(x + 5)
➡ 7x + 14 = 6x + 30
➡ 7x - 6x = 30 - 14
➡ x = 16
Therefore,
➡ Numerator = 16
➡ Denominator = 16 + 3 = 19
Therefore, the original fraction will be,
= 16/19
Answer:
- The original fraction is 16/19.
