Question

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 4 if the numerator is increase by 11 and the denominator is decreased by 1, the new number become 7/3,find the original number

Answer 1

Answer:let the numerator be x so the denominator be X+4

X+11÷X+4-1 =7/3

X+11÷X+3=7/3

3(X+11)=7(X+3)

3X+33=7X+21

7X-3X=33-21

4X=12

X=3

Denominator =x+4=7

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

• The denominator of a rational number is greater than it's numerator by 4. If the numerator is increased by 11 and the Denominator is decreased by 1, the new number becomes ⁷⁄₃.

To find:

•  The Original number

Solution:⠀⠀

Let's say, that the numerator of the fraction be x. Then, denominator of the fraction be (x + 4) respectively.

⠀

$\begin{gathered}\sf \orange\bigstar \: {According \;to\;the\; Question\; :}\end{gathered}$

• If the numerator is increased by 11 and the Denominator is decreased by 1, the new number becomes ⁷⁄₃.

⠀⠀

$\begin{gathered} : \implies\sf\Bigg\{\dfrac{x + 11}{x + 4 - 1}\Bigg\} = \Bigg\{\dfrac{7}{3}\Bigg\}\\\\ : \implies\sf\Bigg\{\dfrac{x + 11}{x + 3}\Bigg\} = \Bigg\{\dfrac{7}{3}\Bigg\}\\\\ : \implies\sf 3\Big\{x + 11\Big\}=7\Big\{x + 3\Big\}\\\\ : \implies\sf 3x + 33 = 7x + 21 \\\\ : \implies\sf 3x - 7x = 21 - 33\\\\ : \implies\sf -4x = -12\\\\\twoheadrightarrow\sf x = \cancel\dfrac{-12}{-4}\\\\ : \implies\underline{\boxed{{\frak{x = 3}}}}\; \pink\bigstar\end{gathered}$

Therefore,

• Numerator of the fraction, x = 3
• Denominator of the fraction, (x + 4) = (3 + 4) = 7 

$\boxed{\sf{Hence,\: the \;original\; number\; is\;\bf{\dfrac{3}{7}}}}.$
