Question

the numerator of the fraction is 12 less than the denominator. if 8 is added to the numerator the fraction is equal to 4/5. find the original fraction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let both the numerator and denominator be X

The numerator will be X-12

The denominator will be X

X-12/X=4/5

X-12+8/X=4/5

X-4/X=4/5

5(X-4)=4X

5X-20=4X

5X-4X=20

X=20
