Question

The denominator of a certain fraction is 6 more that the numerator,and the fraction is equivalent to 1/3. Find the numerator.​

Answer 1

Numerator = 3

Explanation:

Let the numerator is x.

The denominator is 6 more that the numerator, 6+x

The fraction is equivalent to 1/3. ATQ,

`(x)/(x+6)=(1)/(3)`

Cross multiplying both sides,

`3x=x+6\\\\3x-x=6\\\\2x=6\\\\x=(6)/(2)\\\\x=3`

Numerator = 3

So, the numerator is 3.
