if in one fraccion you plass 8 to the up part the result of the fraccion is 1 and if plass 9 to de down part you get 1/2 what fraccion is it?
Let the fraction be represented by a/b
And we are told that if we add 8 to the "top" the fraction becomes 1.
This implies that a + 8 = b
We are also told that if we add 9 to the "bottom,' we get 1/2
This implies that b+ 9 = 2a
So, rearranging the first equation, we have that a = b - 8 ....and substituting this into the second equation, we get .....
b + 9 = 2 (b - 8) simplify
b + 9 = 2b - 16 simplify
b = 25 ..... and a = b - 8 ...so.... a = 25 - 8 = 17
So.....the fraction is 17/25
