Question

The numirator of a fraction is 4 less than is denominator if 5 is added then numenator and denominator lts value become 5/3 find the fraction.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the denominator

Therefore, the numerator is y-4.

Therefore, the fraction is y-4/y

According to the given condition,y-4+5/y+5=5/3

y+1/y+5=5/3

3(y+1)=5(y+5)

3y+3=5y+25

3y-5y=25-3

-2y=22

y=-11

Therefore, the fraction is,

-11-4/-11

-15/-11

15/11

Answer 2

let numerator=x

then denominator=x+4

then the fraction=x/x+4

after 5 added to the numerator and denominator

the fraction is x+5/x+4+5=x+5/x+9

according to the question,

x+5/x+9=5/3

or,3(x+5)=5(x+9)

or,3x+15=5x+45

or,3x-5x=45-15

or,-2x=30

or,-x=15

or,x= -15

therefore the fraction= -15/-11=15/11
