Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the numerator and y represent the denominator.
The numerator of a rational number is greater than its denominator by 3. It means that
x = y + 3
If the new number becomes 13/4 when the numerator is tripled and the denominator is decreased by 23, it means that
3x/(y - 23) = 13/4
Cross multiplying, it becomes
3x × 4 = 13(y - 23)
12x = 13y - 299- - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = y + 3 into equation 1, it becomes
12(y + 3) = 13y - 299
12y + 36 = 13y - 299
13y - 12y = 36 + 299
y = 335
x = y + 3 = 335 + 3
x = 338
The original number is 338/335
The answer is 21.9
Hope this helps good luckkk :)
