Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Improper fraction is a fraction in which a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator .
Given,
Fraction when expressed as mixed fraction = 7 2/5
Fraction =
Also, we are given,
Sum of numerator and denominator = 126
Let numerator be N and denominator be D
N + D = 126
D = 126 - N
According to question,
=
5N = 37 ( 126 - N)
5N = 4662 - 37N
Adding 37N on both sides,
5N + 37N = 4662 - 37N + 37N
42N = 4662
Dividing both the sides by 42,
N = 4662 / 42
N = 111
Now,
D = 126 - N = 126 - 111
D = 15
So the desired fraction is . Since here numnerator [ 111 ] > denominator [ 15 ], Hence we have an improper fraction
Hence,
