Question

the denominator of a fraction is 5 greater than numerator and it equal to2 by 3 find the origanal fraction?

Answer 1

Let the numerator be x,
Now the denominator will be, x+5,

Fraction =
$\frac{x}{x + 5}$
This fraction = 2/3 ( According to the data),

Now cross multiply,

3x = 2x +10,

bring 2x left side,

3x-2x = 10,

x = 10, which is the numerator,

Denominator = x+5 = 10+5 = 15,

So required fraction = 10/15 !

Answer 2

x/x+5=2/3
3x =2x+10
x=10
Therefore the fraction will be 10/15or 2/3
