Given: Denominator is 5 greater than numerator. sum of numerator and denominator is 13
Solution: Let the numerator is x.
So, Denominator will be x + 5
According to question,
Numerator + Denominator= 13
x + (x + 5) = 13
2x + 5 = 13
2x = 13 – 5
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
Numerator is 4 and denominator is 9 i.e. (4 + 5).
