Answer 1

Answer:

27/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be "x"

Let the denominator be "y"

{Given]

>x+14=y (eq. i. )

>x+y=40(eq. ii )

ATQ:

x+y=40

x+x+14=40 (by substituting the value of y from eq. I)

2x=40-14

2x=26

x=13

Now,

x+y=40

13+y=40

y=40-13

y=27

Hence, the fraction will be 27/13
