Question

the numerator of a rational number is 8 greater than its denominator if the numerator is become to ise and the denominator is increased by 3 and new number becomes 3 find the original number and check your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose numerator of the rational number is p, then denominator is p+8.

Rational number is p/p+8

Numerator is increased by 17, then it becomes p+17.

Denominator is decreased by 1, then it becomes p+8−1=p+7

New rational number is p+17/p+7=3/2

⇒2p+34=3p+21

⇒p=13

Thus numerator is 13.

Denominator is p+8=13+8=21

Therefore, the rational number is 13/21
