Question

The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than twice the numerator. When both the numerator and denominator are decreased by 6, then the denominator becomes 12 times the numerator. Determine the fraction

Answer 1

let numerator be x
then denominator will be 2x+4
according to question
12(x-6)=2x-2
12x-72=2x-2
10x =70
x=7

then denominator will be
2(7)+4 = 18
then fraction will be
7/18
