Question

the denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 11. if 8 is added both to the numerator and denominator, it reduces to 1/3. find the fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let denominator be x+11 and numerator be x

x+8/x+11+8 = 1/3

x+8/x+19 = 1/3

x+19 = 3(x+8)

x+19 = 3x+24

-2x = 5

x = -5/2
