Question

If we add 5 to the denominator and subtract 5 from the numerator of a fraction, it becomes 1/7. If we subtract 3 from the numerator and add 3 to its denominator, it reduces to . Find the fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

0/10 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1-3=0

7+3=10

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the original numerator of the fraction be x and the original denominator of the fraction be y.

So the equation goes like this :

$\frac{x - 5}{y +5}$ = $\frac{1}{7}$

Using trial and error method we get x = 6 and y = 2

So the original fraction = $\frac{6}{2}$

Now if we subtract 3 from the numerator and add 3 to its denominator the fraction will be :

$\frac{6 - 3}{2 + 3}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$
