The Numerator Of A Fraction Is 4 Less Than Its Denominator. If The Numerator Is Decreased By 2 And The Denominator Is Increased By 1, Then The Denominator Becomes Eight Times The Numerator. Find The Fraction? |

Answer» Original fraction = (x - 4)/x In case II, 8(x - 4 - 2) = x + 1 ⇒ 8X - 48 = x + 1 ⇒ 7x = 49 ⇒ x = 7 ∴Original fraction = (7 - 4)/7 = 3/7 Original fraction = (x - 4)/x In case II, 8(x - 4 - 2) = x + 1 ⇒ 8x - 48 = x + 1 ⇒ 7x = 49 ⇒ x = 7 ∴Original fraction = (7 - 4)/7 = 3/7 |
