Question

The numerator of a fraction is 4 less than its denominator. if the numerator is decreased by 1,the fraction is equal to 2/3.Find the fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the denominator be x.

Therefore numerator =x-4-1

=x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we decrease the numerator by 1, the fraction is equal to 2/3.

Now,

A/Q

x-5/x=2/3

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

=>x-5=2x/3

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

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

=>x/3=5

=>x=5

Therefore,the denominator=x

=15

And numerator=x-5

=15-5

=10

Therefore,the fraction is=10/15

=2/3
