Question

The denominator of a fraction is greater than the numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 7 and the denominator is decreased by 1, the number obtained is 3/2. Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numerator be X

$\frac{x}{x + 8} \\ => \frac{x + 7}{x + 8 - 1} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \frac{x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{3}{2} \\ 2(x + 7) = 3(x + 7) \\ => 2x + 14 = 3x + 21 \\ x = 7 \\ hence \: the \: fraction \: is \: \\ = \frac{7}{15}$
