Question 1160140
In a certain fraction, the numerator is 7 less than the denominator. If booth the numerator and denominator are increased by 2, the new fraction equals 4/11. What is the original fraction?
<pre>I don't know why he/she came to the conclusion that there's no INTEGER value for the denominator.
The fraction you're looking for is: {{{highlight_green(2/9)}}}
Very SIMPLE!! From resulting fraction, {{{4/11}}}, SIMPLY subtract 2 from numerator and also denominator. Doesn't that give you {{{matrix(1,3, (4 - 2)/(11 - 2), "=", 2/9)}}}
