Fractions and Decimals
If 3 is added to the denominator of a fraction, it becomes 1/3 and if 4 be added to its numerator, It becomes 3/4, then fraction is ?
Length of each piece = 3 1/4 = 13/4 m Maximum pieces that can be cut = 30/(13/4) = 9 ∴ Rope left = 30 - 13/4 x 9 = 120 - 117/4 = 3/4 m∴ Required fraction = 3/4/30 = 1/4
Let man's salary be Rs. NMoney spend on food =N/7Money spends on clothing = (N - N/7) x 1/2 = (6N/7) x (1/2) =3N/7Money spend on entertainment = (N - N/7 - 3N/7)/3 = (7N - 4N)/7 = N/7Now, money left =600⇒ N - N/7 - 3N/7 - N/7 = 600⇒ 7N - 5N/7 = 600⇒ N = 600 x 7/2 = Rs. 2100∴ Money spend on entertainment = 1/7 x 2100 = Rs. 300
Time required for service before overhauling = 2/3h = 40 min in 45 days and time required for service after overhauling =2/3h= 40 min in 60 days Now,LCM of 45 and 60 = 180 days time required for service before overhauling is 180 days = 40 x 4 = 160 min and time required for service before overhauling is 180 days =40 x 3 = 120 min ∴ fraction of time saved = 160 - 120/160 =40/160 = 1/4
