R =4/3 (p-q)
3 x r = 4 (p-q)
(3 x r)/4 = p - q
(3 x r)/4 - q = p
Let me know if u can see this picture
Answer:6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Given that the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator.
Also given that 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth .
Let the fraction be
Since the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator we have,
Numerator=Denominator-4
⇒ a=b-4
Since 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth we have
4(a-3)=1(b+5)
4a-12=b+5
4a-b=17
4(b-4)-b=17 ( ∵ a=b-4)
4b-16-b=17
3b=17+16
3b=33
⇒ b=11
Now put b=11 in a=b-4 we get
a=11-4
⇒ the fraction is a/b=7/11
Number of milk cartons put out for breakfast = 100
Number of cartons remaining at the end = 27
Number of cartons consumed = 100 - 27 = 73
Ratio of cartons remaining / cartons consumed = 27/73
