EXPLANATION
- GIVEN
Numerator of fraction is 6 less than the
denominator.
if 3 is added to the numerator.
fraction = 2/3
TO FIND ORIGINAL NUMBER.
Let the denominator be = x
numerator be = x - 6
original fraction = (x - 6 ) / x.....(1)
According to the given question,
x - 6 + 3 / x = 2 / 3
x - 3 / x = 2/3
3x - 9 = 2x
x = 9
original fraction = x - 6 / x
9 - 6 / 9
3/9
therefore,
original fraction = 3/9
