Question

The numerator of a fraction is 8 less than denominator if the numerator is increased by 17and the denominator is decreased by 1 the new fraction obtained is 3/2 find the fraction

Answer 1

let the friction is a/ (a+8)
(a+17)/(a+7)=3/2
2a+34=3a+21
a=13

Answer 2

Answer:

13/21

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the question...

let the denominator be x the numerator will be x-8.

=> (x-8+17)/(x-1)=3/2

=> x+9/x-1 = 3/2

=> 3(x-1) = 2(x+9)

=> 3x-3 = 2x+18

=> 3x-2x = 18+3

=> x = 21

so the fraction will be 13/21
