The numerator of a fraction is the sum of 4 and 5 times the denominator. If you divide the fraction by 2, the numerator is 3 times the denominator. Find the simplified version of the fraction.
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Let numerator = N and denominator = D.
According to the first statement,
N = (D x 5) + 4.
According to the second statement, N / 2 = 3 * D.
Let's multiply the second equation by –2 and add itthe first equation:
–N = –6D
+[N = (D x 5) + 4]
=
–6D + (D x 5) + 4 = 0
–1D + 4 = 0
D = 4
Thus, N = 24.
Therefore, N/D = 24/4 = 6.
