Question

The numerator and denominator of a rational number are in the ratio
3:5 . if the denominator is increased by 3, the ratio becomes 3:5. Find the rational number
9.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is an error in the question, please recheck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of numerator to denominator is 3:5.

Let numerator=3x and denominator=5x

From the question,

$\frac{3x}{5x+3}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\\implies{5(3x)}{}=3(5x+3)\\\implies 15x=15x+9\\\implies 0=9$

The reason why this fallacy of 0=9 has arrived is because the given function cannot be solved.
