Appropriate Question :
- The denominator of rational number that is greater than it's numerator by 7.if the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 6 ,the new number becomes 2. find the original number .
Given :
- The denominator of rational number that is greater than it's numerator by 7.
- if the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 6,the new number becomes 2.
To Find :
- The original number = ?
Solution :
- Let numerator be a and then denominator will be a + 7.
If the numerator is increased by 17,mathematically it can be expressed as :
- a + 17
And the denominator is decreased by 6,mathematically it can be expressed as :
- a + 7 - 6
★ According to Question now :
→ Numerator ÷ Denomintaor = 2
→ (a + 17) ÷ (a + 7 - 6) = 2
→ (a + 17) ÷ (a + 1) = 2
→ a + 17 = 2(a + 1)
→ a + 17 = 2a + 2
→ 17 - 2 = 2a - a
→ 15 = a
→ a = 15
- Hence,the numerator of the given number is 15.
★ Finding the denomintaor :
→ Denomintaor = a + 7
→ Denomintaor = 15 + 7
→ Denominator = 22
- Hence,the denomintaor of the given number is 22.
★ Finding the original number :
→ Original Number = Denomintaor ÷ Numerator
→ Original Number = a ÷ (a + 7)
→ Original Number = 15/22
- Hence,the original number is 15/22.
