29. The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numerator. 2 is subtracted from the numerator and denominator, the resulting fraction will be 1/3. Find the original fraction.

• a 1/8
• b. 2/8
• C. 3/8
• d. 4/8

Let the numerator be n , and denominator be d

Given:

numerator = n

denominator = n+4 (4 greater than numerator)

Now , if we subtract 2 to the numerator and denominator , the result is 1/3

Then , substitute n to the original fraction

• numerator = n = 4
• denominator = n+4 = 4+4 = 8

Therefore , the fraction is 4/8

• LETTER D (4/8)
