Question

The denominator of a fraction is greater than the numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 17 and denominator is decreased by 1, the number obtained is 3/2. Find the fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:$\frac{13}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2( N+ 17) = 3 (N +7)

2N+ 34= ·3N+ 21

N= 13

D= N+8 = 13+8 = 21

Fraction is $\frac{13}{21}$

When Im using N is equal to numerator and D for denominator, in order to get the fraction we substitute and the results combine in the fraction like this  $\frac{N}{D}$
