Denominator of a number is 4 less than its numerator. If 6 is added to the numerator it becomes thrice the demoninator. Find the fraction.
Let the numerator be x
Denominator = x-4
According to the question
x + 6 = 3(x-4)
x + 6 = 3x-12
x-3x = -12-6
-2x = -18
x = 9
(divide by -2 on both the sides)
The numerator = 9
The denominator = x-4 = 9-4 = 5
