Question

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 3. If 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 2 is added to the denominator, the new number becomes 1/5. Find the original number. PLEASE ANSWER IN ONE VARIABLE.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction = 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x

Denominator = x + 3

According to the question,

=> (x - 3)/(x + 3 + 2) = 1/5

=> 5(x - 3) = x + 5

=> 5x - 15 = x + 5

=> 5x - x = 5 + 15

=> 4x = 20

=> x = 20/4 = 5

∴ Numerator = x = 5

Denominator = x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

Hence,

Fraction = Numerator / Denominator = 5/8
