The denominator of a fraction in its simplest form is greater than the numerator by 5 . If 3 is added to the numerator, and 2 added to the denominator, then the fraction itself is increased by 1/3 . Find the original fraction.

The original fraction is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a word problem as follows

Let the Denominator be D and

The Numerator be N

D = 5 + N

Therefore,

Which gives

 and then we have

Therefore, we have

and

Which gives

That is the numerator = 1 or -10

and the denominator = N + 5  is therefore,

1 + 5 = 6 or

-10 + 5 = -5

The original fraction is therefore

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
