Question

the denominator of a ratio number is greater than its numerator by 6 if the numerator is increased by 19 and the denominator is decreased by 1 then number obtained is 5 find the rational numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is -3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numerator is x then the denominator will be x+6 by first condition

if numerator increased by 19 then it will be x+19

and if denominator decreased by 1 then it will be x+5

therefore by the given condition we have equation (x+19)/(x+5)=5

solving this for x we get x+19=5x+25

or 5x-x=19-25

or 4x=-6

or x=-3/2      so -3/2+6=-9/2   hence the solution is (9/2)÷(-3/2)

which is equal to 9/2× (-2/3)=-3/1
