The Denominator Of A Fraction Is 1 Less Than Twice The Numerator. If

1.	The Denominator Of A Fraction Is 1 Less Than Twice The Numerator. If The Numerator And Denominator Are Both Increased By 1, The Fraction Becomes 3/5. Find The Fraction?
Answer» LET the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'N' and 'd' respectively. d = 2n - 1 (n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5 5n + 5 = 3d + 3 5n + 5 = 3(2n - 1) + 3 => n = 5 d = 2n - 1 => d = 9 Hence the fraction is : 5/9. Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'n' and 'd' respectively. d = 2n - 1 (n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5 5n + 5 = 3d + 3 5n + 5 = 3(2n - 1) + 3 => n = 5 d = 2n - 1 => d = 9 Hence the fraction is : 5/9.

Answer»

LET the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'N' and 'd' respectively.

d = 2n - 1

(n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5

5n + 5 = 3d + 3

5n + 5 = 3(2n - 1) + 3 => n = 5

d = 2n - 1 => d = 9

Hence the fraction is : 5/9.

Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'n' and 'd' respectively.

d = 2n - 1

(n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5

5n + 5 = 3d + 3

5n + 5 = 3(2n - 1) + 3 => n = 5

d = 2n - 1 => d = 9

Hence the fraction is : 5/9.
