Question

a particular fraction is equivalent to 2/3. the sum of its numerator and denominator is 105. what is the numerator of the fraction?

Answer 1

just calculate ; 2/5 * 105

Answer 2

let the particular fraction be x/y

it says the fraction is equivalent to 2/3

so you can write it as x/y = 2/3

agree?

Answer 3

yea, agree...
i use smartway only

Answer 4

i don't think that works though....

Answer 5

agree but then the sum of the numerator and denominator is 10. would that be x+y=105 then?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

then from x/y = 2/3

you can cross multiply to get x = 2y/3

so substitute 2y/3 into x + y = 105
