4 0

Answer:

449/20 or 22 9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Change them to mixed numbers.

55 x 5 = 275 + 1 = 276

32 x 4 = 128 + 3 = 131

Then, convert them to a common denominator.

276 x 4 = 1104

131 x 5 = 655

1104 - 655 = 449

449/20

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator of fraction is 1 less than its denominator. If the numerator is increased by 4 and the denominator is increased by 5, the new fraction becomes equivalent to 4/5. what is the original fraction?

Let n = numerator

d = denominator

n = d - 1

$\frac{d - 1}{d}$

$\frac{d - 1 + 4}{d + 5}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{d + 3}{d+ 5}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$

cross multiply

5(d + 3) = 4(d + 5)

5d + 15 = 4d + 20

d = 5

n = d - 1

5 - 1 = 4

Cross multiply

x*28 = 20*(x+18) {Use distributive method}

28x = 20x + 360

28x - 20x = 360

8x = 360

x = 360/8
