1. ### Question:

The denominator of a fraction is 6 more than its numerator. If 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator, the fraction becomes Find the fraction.

### Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of a fraction is 6 more than its numerator.

Now, 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator

Thus, the equation is

Substitute the value of x = 4

### Hint:

Hint given in the question :

★ The denominator of a fraction is 6 more than its numerator.

2. ### CORRECTQUESTION.

The denominator of a fraction is 6 more than

it’s numerator. if 2 is added to both the numerator

and the denominator the fraction become 1/2.

find the friction.

### EXPLANATION.

• GIVEN

y = x + 6 [ denominator of fraction is 6 more than

it’s numerator ]

According to Given question

equation will be written as :-

x + 2 / x + 6 + 2 = 1/2

x + 2 / x + 8 = 1/2

2x + 4 = x + 8

x = 4

put the value of x in equation

we get,

y = 4 + 6

y = 10

hence,

fraction will be written as

x/y = 4/10 = 2/5

Hence,

fraction will be = 2/5
