Question

The denomator of a fraction is 2 more than the numator if the numator is multiplayed by 3 and the denomator is mulpalied by 2 then the numerator is one less the the denomator find the fraction+

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction is 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x, then denominator will be x+2.

When the numerator is multiplied by 3, it becomes 3x.

When the denominator is multiplied by 2, it becomes 2(x+2) = 2x+4.

Given, when multiplied so, the numerator is one less than the denominator

                         2x+4 - 1 = 3x

                         2x-3x+3 = 0

                         2x-3x     = -3

                            -x        = -3

                             x        = 3

numerator = x = 3

denominator = x+2 = 3+2 = 5

The fraction is 3/5
