Question

the numerator and denominator of fraction are in the ratio 5:7.if numerator is reduced by 5 and denominator is increased by 6,the ratio becomes 1:4.find the fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\bold\red{\dfrac{5}{7}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The required fraction is $\dfrac{x}{y}$

Where,

• Numerator = x
• Denominator = y

According to question,

The Numerator and Denominator are in the ratio of 5:7.

Therefore,

We get,

$= > \frac{x}{y} = \dfrac{5}{7}$

Also,

It's given that,

If Numerator is reduced by 5 and Denominator is increased by 6, tge ratio becomes 1:4.

Now,

Since,

We have got x/y = 5/7.

Therefore,

Further no need to solve.

Hence the required fraction is $\bold{\dfrac{5}{7}}$
