Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.
Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.
Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12. Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.
Now we just use algebra.
x/(x+4) = 8/12
12x = 8(x+4)
12x = 8x + 32
4x = 32
x = 8
So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8

Answer:
6 papayas and 11 pineapples
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we need to find an answer of how many papayas and pineapples she bought, and we only spent $48.
So, papayas are $2.50 each, and Pineapples are $3.00 each and we only bought 17 fruits total.
lets try 8 papayas, and 9 Pineapples.
$2.50 x 8 = $20.00 total on Papayas
$3.00 x 9 = $27.00 total on Pineapples.
That would only be $47 spent total.
Lets try 10 papayas and 7 pineapples.
$2.50 x 10 = $25.00
$3.00 x 7 = $21.00
That would only be a total of $26 spent.
Lets try 6 papayas and 11 pineapples.
$2.50 x 6 = $15.00
$3.00 x 11 = $33.00
This would be a total of $48 spent.
