Question

Q.3) The numerator of a fraction is 5 less than the
denominator. If 4 is added to each numerator and
denominator the fraction becomes 1/2 .find the
friction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the denominator.

Then, numerator=x-5

therefore, x-5+4/x+4=1/2

or, x-1/x+4=1/2

or, 2(x-1)=x+4

or, 2x-2=x+4

or, 2x-x=4+2

or, x=6

x-5=1

hence, the required fraction is 1/6
