Question

numerator of a rational number is 5 more than its denominator if 2 is subtracted from numerator and 2 is added to its denominator then number becomes 5 by 4 find the rational numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

let the denominator be x and numerator be x+5

      x+5/x = original fraction

    (x+5)-2/x+2 = 5/4

    x+3/x+2 = 5/4

 4(x+3) = 5(x+2)

4x +12 = 5x +10

x=2        the rational number is therefore, 7/2
