Question

The denominator of a fraction is 3 more than its numerator. If 2 is added to the numerator and 9 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes 5/6 . Find the original fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

48/51

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

numerator = x

then, denominator=x+3

given,

2 is added to numerator =x+2

9 is added to denominator= (x+3)+9=x+12

x+2/x+12=5/6 (given)

(x+2)(6)=(x+12)(5)

6x+12=5x+60

6x-5x=60-12

x=48

therefore, numerator= 48

denominator= x+3

=48+3

=51

Fraction=48/51

check:-

(x+2)/(x+12)=5/6

48+2/48+12=5/6

50/60=5/6

5/6=5/6

therefore,L.H.S=R.H.S
