The sum of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 8. If 3 is
added to both of the numerator and the denominator, the fraction
becomes 3/4. Find the fraction.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

3+3/5+3=6/8

=3/4

or

let the fraction is X /y then according to question,

x+3/y+3=3/4

4x+12=3y+9

4x-3y= -3

we we put the value which satisfy this equation then we find that x =3,y=5

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the numerator = x

Let the denominator = y

Acc to 1st statement:-

x+3/y+3 =8/1

By cross multiplication

x+3 = 8y+24

x-8y = 24-3

x-y = 24-3/8

x-y = 21/8

My answer is wrong i have to check it again
