Question

the denominator of a fraction is 3 more than the numerator if 2 is added to the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator the fraction becomes 1 by 2 find the fraction

Answer 1

Hello!

Here's your answer :

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Let the numerator be x

Denominator = (x+3)

Fraction = x / x+3

According to Question.

(x)+2 / (x+3)+5 = 1 /2

(Solving By Cross Multiplication Method)

x + 2 / x + 8 = 1 /2

2 (x+2) = 1 (x + 8)

2x + 4 = x + 8

2x - x = 8 - 4

1x = 4

x = 4

Numerator = x = 4

Denominator = (x+3) = (4+3) = 7

Fraction = 4 /7

Hope It Helps!!!!

Answer 2

Heyyyy mate..

Here is your answer...


let the numerator= X

and denominator=Y

fraction= X/Y
according to question,

X/Y+3

now adding 2 to the numerator

X+2/Y+3

5 added to the denominator

so, X+2/Y+3+5=1/2

X+3/Y+8=1/2

2(X+3)=Y+8

2x+6=Y+8

2x-y-2

answer , fraction=2x-y-2


hope it help you
