Question

The denominator of a fraction is twice the numerator. If 3 is added to the numerator and 3 is subtracted from the denominator, the new fraction is 7/5. Find the original fraction.

Answer 1

4/8

Explanation:

d = 2n

n+3 = 7

d-3 = 5

substitute '2n' for 'd' in d-3=5

2n-3 = 5

2n = 8

n = 4

d = 2(4)

4/8
