The numerator of a rational number is 4 less than its denominator. If 1 is added to both its numerator and denominator, it becomes 2/3.Find the rational number.

Answer 1

Answer:

8/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denominator be x

Numerator=x-4

Therefore, fraction=(x-4)/x

A.T.Q

x-4+1/x+1=2/3

x-3/x+1=2/3

By cross multiplying,

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

3x-9=2x+2

x=11

Therefore fraction=11-4/11=8/11
