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
