a fraction is such that the numerator is 2 less than the denominator if you add 3 to the numerator and 5 to the denominator the resulting fraction is 3/5 find the fraction

 3/5

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let x represent the denominator of the fraction, then we have

Now add 3 to the numerator and 5 to the denominator and set it equal to 3/5:

Substitute x = 5 into the original fraction:

the answer is $42.96

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
