Question

in a fraction an twice the numerator is 2 more than the denominator. if 3 is added to the numenrator and to the denominator the new fraction is 2/3. find the original fraction. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given when 3 is added to both the numerator and denominator, the fraction becomes 2/3. Therefore the fraction is 7/12. Given when 3 is added to both the numerator and denominator, the fraction becomes 2/3.

Answer 2

LET THE NUMERATOR BE X

THEN DENOMINATOR WILL BE 2X-2

THEREFORE THE FRACTION X/2X-2

GIVEN THAT WHEN 3IS ADDED TO NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR IT WILL BE 2/3

HENCE X+3/2X-2+3=2/3

(X+3) /(2X+1) =2/3

3X+9=4X+2

X=7

THEREFORE THE FRACTION IS 7/12
