2(x/(x + 3)) = (x + 6)/(x + 8)
ie 2x/(x + 3)= (x + 6)/(x + 8)
Cross multiply: 2x(x + 8)= (x + 3)(x + 6)
ie 2x2 + 16x = x2 + 9x + 18
ie x2 + 7x - 18 = 0
Factorise: (x + 9)(x - 2) = 0
ie x = 2, fraction = 2/5
Check: 2/5 x 2 = 8/10? Yes. Job done
(x could also be -9, fraction -9/-6 which is half of -3/-1)
the answer is = 1 is the whole, 583 is the numerater and 1000 is the determinater,
If a fraction's denominator is increased, the number gets smaller. If a fraction's denominator is decreased, the number gets bigger.
The original fraction is -145/(-282) or it could be 850/35700 or one of infinitely many possibilities.
Whatever you multiply or divide the numerator by, you must do the same to the denominator. If you multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by different numbers, you change the value of the fraction and turn it into a different number. After that, nothing is "equivalent" any more ... you're working with a changed number.
first you multiply the whole number by the denominator then add the numerater to the product then put the answer over the denominator e.g. 5 4/7 5x7=35 35+4=39 39 over 7 TADA!!
an improper fraction

It's the number above the denominator. The denominator is the bottom in a fraction. I hope this helps:)
The numerator is the top number in a fraction. (2 in 2/8) The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. (5 in 3/5)
A numerator is the top of a fraction. Say you had the fraction 1/2.The numerator is 1.2/3 numerator is 25/9 numerator is 5Please Recommend:)
The numerator, to put it simply, is the top number of a fraction. EX: 6/7 --> 6 is the numerator
If the numerator of the fraction is increased and the denominator doesn't change, then the value of the fraction increases.
When dividing, the numerator goes inside the box, which is known as the dividend. The denominator goes outside the box, which is the divisor. The division process involves dividing the numerator by the denominator to find the quotient.
