Question

The denominator of a fraction is 44 more than the numerator. The fraction when simplified,is 11/17. What is the numerator?

Answer 1

Let the actual numerator  be x

Then, the actual denominator is (x-44)

Now, According to the question

x : (x+44) :: 11 : 17

or, $\frac{x}{x+44} = \frac{11}{17}$

or, 17x = (11x+484)

or, 17x-11x = 484

or, 6x = 484

or, x = $\frac{484}{6}$ =80.66666666... ≈ 80.667

I think you got the question wrong.

Thank you!
