Fractions and Decimals
If a fraction is multiplied by itself and then divided by the reciprocal of the same fraction, the result is 18 26/27. Find the fraction.
Let the fraction be N.Then, N / (13/14) - (13/14) x N = 3/65⇒ 14N/13 - 13N/14 = 3/65⇒ (196N - 169N)/182 = 3/65⇒ 27N/182 = 3/65∴ N = (3 x 182) / (27 x 65) = 14/45So, correct answer will be (13/14) x (14/45) = 13/45
