Question 100042: THE DENOMINATOR IS 5 TIMES THE NUMERATOR. THE SUM OF THE NUMERATOR AND THE DENOMINATORIS 36. FIND THE FRACTION. Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=numerator
Then 5x=denominator
We are told that:
x+5x=36 combine like terms
6x=36 divide both sides by 6
x=6--------------numerator
5x=5*6=30 denominator
x/5x=6/30-------------------------the fraction
CK
6+30=36
36=36
