Question

the denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 3.If 3 is subtracted from numerator and 2 is added to denominator,the new fraction is 1/5.find the sum of the numarator and denominator of original fratction is?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be x/y

case 1 - numerator is x then denominator is x+3 .

case2 fraction is x-3/x+3+2= x-3/x+5

a/q

x-3/x+5=1/5

then x = 5/2

therefore new fraction is 5/2

therefore, numerator=5

denomenator= 2

sum of numerator and denominator= 5+2=7
