Question

The denominator ofa 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 The
original number is:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x/x+3

x-3/x+5 =1/5

5x-15 = x+5

X=5

ON = 5/8

Answer 2

Answer:

let numerator be x.

so denominator will be x + 3.

A/C,

x-3/x+3+2 = 1/5

or, 5x - 15 = x + 5

or, 5x - x = 5 + 15

or, 4x = 20

or, x = 20/4

or, x = 5.

Numerator = 5

Denominator = 5+3 = 8

Therefore the number is = 5/8.
