Question

The numerator of a fraction is 4 less than its denominator. If 3 is subtracted from the numerator

and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes ¼.What is the given fraction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

let denominator be x

then fraction is x-4/x

x-4-3/x+5=1/4

x-7/x+5=1/4

4x-28=x+5

4x-x=5+28

3x=33

x=11

fraction is x-4/x

11-4/11

7/11

Answer 2

Answer:

☆Given,

》》The numerator(equation)

》》The denominator(equation)

♧To find,

》》The fraction

♡Solution:

Let the numerator be x

Then,denominator = x+4

New numerator=x-3

New denominator=x+4+5=x+9

ACQ,

Then,

》》x-3/x+9=1/4

》》4(x-3)=x+9

》》4x-12=x+9

》》3x=21

》》x=7

♡Numerator=7

♡Denominator=11

♤Clearly,

Fraction=7/11
