Question

If a /b = p /q, then (a + b )/b = _______.

(p + b )/q
(p + p)/q
(p + q)/q
(p + a)/q

Answer 1

Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

`(a+b)/(b)=(p+q)/(q)`

Explanation:

The given equation is,

`\Rightarrow (a)/(b)=(p)/(q)`

Adding 1 in both sides,

`\Rightarrow (a)/(b)+1=(p)/(q)+1`

`\Rightarrow (a+b)/(b)=(p+q)/(q)`

This rule is also known as Componendo property of fractions.

Therefore,

`(a+b)/(b)=(p+q)/(q)`
