Question

What added to the numerator and denominator of the fraction 5÷12 to make it equal to 2÷3​

Answer 1

Let The number be x

So, According to the Question

$\frac{5}{12}$ Is added to x and Sum of $\frac{5}{12}$ and x will be Equal to $\frac{2}{3}$

$\therefore \: \frac{5}{12} + x = \frac{2}{3}$

$= > x = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{12}$

$= > x = \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} - \frac{5}{12}$

$= > x = \frac{8}{12} - \frac{5}{12}$

$= > x = \frac{8 - 5}{12} = \frac{3}{12}$

$= > x = \frac{1}{4}$

So,

$\frac{1}{4}$added to the numerator and denominator of the fraction $\frac{5}{12}$ to make it equal to $\frac{2}{3}$

$\huge\mathbb\fcolorbox{purple}{lavenderblush}{✰Solution}$

Let the number be x

So, 5/12 is added to x

According to question,

Sum of 5/12 and X = 2/3

So, 5/12+ x = 2/3

=> x = 2/3-5/12

=> x = 8/12-5/12

=> x = 8-5/12

=> x = 3/12
