  • If denominator is decreased by 3 6/6-3 = 6/3 = 1/2 => which is half.
  • So, the fraction is 6/6.

Question :--

The sum of numerator and denominator of a fraction is 12 . if the denominator is increased by 3 . the fraction becomes half . find the fraction .

 \\

given that :--

  • The denominator is increased by 3 to the numerator then the fraction becomes half.

 \\

Solution :--

  • Let numerator of the fraction = x
  • Let denominator of the fraction = y .

Therefore, fraction =  \sf  \:  \dfrac{x}{y}

 \\

according to first case :--

sum of numerator and denominator = 12 i.e,

 \sf  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\: x + y = 12 \: ............eq.(1) \\  \\

according to second case :--

denominator increased by 3 to the numerator then the fraction becomes half .i.e,

 \sf \:  \dfrac{x}{y + 3}  =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \sf \: 2x = y + 3 \\  \\  \sf \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\: \: 2x - y = 3 \: .............eq.(2) \\  \\

Add eq.(1) and eq.(2) we get :--

 \\  \\  \sf \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\: x + y = 12 \\ \sf \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\: 2x - y = 3 \\\:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:  \underline{ \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: } \\ \sf \:\:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: 3x = 15 \\  \\  \sf\:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:x =  \dfrac{15}{3}  \\  \\  \bf\:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:x = 5 \\  \\

Put the value of x = 5 in eq.(1) we get :--

 \\  \\  \sf \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:x + y = 12 \\  \\  \sf \:\: \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\:5 + y = 12 \\  \\ \sf \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\:y = 12 - 5 \\  \\   \bf\:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\: \:\: \:\: \:\:  \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: \:y = 7 \\  \\

here, value of x and y are 5 and 7 respectively .where x is numerator and y is denominator .

 \\

Therefore, The required fraction =  \sf  \:  \dfrac{5}{7}
