Question 1104792
Rewrite this to make sense
{{{n/d}}} = the original fraction
:
The denominator of a fraction exceed the numerator by 12.
d = n + 12
 If 2 is subtracted from the numerator of the fraction, the value of the resulting fraction became 1/2.
{{{(n-2)/d}}} = {{{1/2}}}
cross multiply
d = 2(n-2)
replace d with (n+12)
n + 12 = 2n - 4
12 + 4 = 2n - n
16 = n
therefore
 d = 16 + 12
d = 28
 Find the original fraction.
{{{16/28}}}

Check in the statement
"If 2 is subtracted from the numerator of the fraction, the value of the resulting fraction became 1/2.
{{{14/28}}} = {{{1/2}}}
