the denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by

1.	the denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 3 if numerator is increased by 14 and denominator is decreased by 3 the new number becomes 11 by4 what is the original number
Answer» Wrong answer Let the numerator of rational number be x. Then denominator of rational number = x + 3 As per given condition (x + 14)/(x + 3 - 3) = 11/4 (x + 14)/x = 11/4 4x + 56 = 11x 11x - 4x = 56 7x = 56 x = 56/7 = 8 Therefore, Original rational number isx/(x + 3) = 8/11

Answer»

Wrong answer

Let the numerator of rational number be x. Then denominator of rational number = x + 3

As per given condition (x + 14)/(x + 3 - 3) = 11/4

(x + 14)/x = 11/4

4x + 56 = 11x

11x - 4x = 56

7x = 56

x = 56/7 = 8

Therefore, Original rational number isx/(x + 3) = 8/11
