Question

The denomination of a ration number 8 more than the numerator if 17 is added to numerator and 1 is subtracted from denomination, the we get 3/5, find the ration number

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{ - 32}{ - 24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y be the numerator and denominator.

Then y - x = 8 .......(1)

( x+17)/(y-1) = 3/5 ........(2)

From (1) y = x+8. Putting this value in (2), we get

(x+17)/(x+8-1) = 3/5

or (x+17)/(x+7) = 3/5

By cross multiplication, we get

5(x+17) = 3(x+7)

or 5x + 85 = 3x + 21

or 5x - 3x = -85 + 21

or 2x = -64

or x = -64/2

x = -32

Putting value of x in (1) we get

y - (-32) = 8

or y = -32+8

y = -24

Hence the number is -32/(-24)
