Question

The denominator of a fraction is 5 more
than the numerator.
Increasing the numerator and
1
denominator by 3, we get the fraction
2
Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

If the denominator of a fraction is 5 more than the numerator but if we subtract 2 from the numerator and the denominator, we get 1/6?

Save taxes & secure your family's future, with a term plan.

Since the denominator of a fraction is 5 more than the numerator. So, A/A+5

Again, if we subtract 2 from the numerator and denominator, then we get 1/6. So,

(A-2)/(A+5–2)=(1/6)

>>(A-2)/(A+3)=(1/6)………(1)

>>6A-12=A+3

>>5A=15

>>A=3

Using the value of A, (1) becomes

(A-2)/(A+3)=1/6

>>(3–2)/(3+3)=1/6

>>1/6=1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numerator be x then,

fraction= x/x+5

increasing numerator by 1 we get and

increasing denominator by 3 we get-> x+1/x+5+3

acc to q

x+1/x+8=2

x+1=2(x+8)

x+1=2x+16

x=2x+15

-x=+15

x= -15

so fraction will be

-15/-20

=3/4
