Question

the denominator of a fraction is 4 more than twice its numerator. denominatior becomes 12 times the numerator, if both the numerator and the denominatior are reduced by 6. find the fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the fraction be p/q. It is given

q=4+2p

(p-6)/(q-6)=1/12

(p-6)/(4+2p-6)=1/12

(p-6)/(2p-2)=1/12

(p-6)/p-1)=1/6

6×(p-6)=p-1

6p-36=p-1

5p=35

p=7

q=4+2p=4+(2×7)=18

Fraction=7/18
