The numerator of a fraction (which is in its simplest form) is 5 less than the denominator. If the numerator is multiplied by 2,

and the denominator is increased by 16, then the fraction becomes smaller by 1/3 of it. Find the original fraction.

N = d - 5

2n/(d + 16) = n/d - 1/3 n/d
2n/(d + 16) = 2/3 n/d Divide by 2n
1 / (d + 16) = 1/3 d
Here's the tricky part.
d + 16 = 3d the two denominators are equal. the numerators are both 1.
16 = 2d
d = 8
so the numerator is d - 5
n = 8 - 5
n = 3

Let's see if it checks out.
n = 3
d = 8

2*3 = 6
8 + 16 = 24
New fraction 6/24 = 1/4
(3/8 - 1/3 ) = 1/8
3/8 - 1/8 = 1/4 so it checks with the original conditions put on it.

8 / 2 = 45 / x....8 servings to 2 cups = 45 servings to x cups
cross multiply
(8)(x) = (2)(45)

If tan θ = 3/2 and cos θ &lt; 0, use the fundamental identities to evaluate the other five trig functions of θ.
notsponge [240]
Use the Pythagorean theorem, tan is y/x so y = -3 and x= -2. Because cos is negative and R is always positive. You need to find R- which is the hypotenuse;
3^2 + 2^2 = r^2
9 + 4 = r^2
13 = r^2
√13 = r.

So you already have tan<span>θ, 
cot</span><span>θ= 2/3

sin</span>θ= -3/√13 BUT
you have to rationalize, so you get -3 √13/ 13

cscθ= √13/ -3

cosθ= -2/ √13 BUT
you have to rationalize, so you get -2√13/ 13

secθ= √13/ -2
