Question

The numerator of a fraction is 4 less then it's denominator. If the numerator us decreased by 1,the fraction becomes 2 by 3,Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numerator of the fraction is 4 less the denominator. And also it's given in the question as, If the numerator is decreased by 2 and denominator is increased by 1, then the denominator is 8 times the numerator. Therefore, the fraction is 37

Answer 2

Answer:

Fraction = 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numerator be x and denominator be y

X+4= Y

X-Y= -4  ---------- [1]

X-1/Y = 2/3

3x - 3 = 2y     [ cross multiplying ]

3x - 2y = 3 ------------[2]

From Eq [1],

X-Y=-4

X=-4+Y

Now putting value of X in Eq [2]

3[-4+Y] - 2Y =3

-12 +3Y - 2Y = 3

-12 + y =3

y = 3 +12

Y = 15

Now putting value of Y in Eq [1]

x -15 = -4

x = -4 + 15

X=11

FRACTION = 11/15
