The denominator of a fraction is 2 less than twice the numerator. If the numerator and denominator are both increased by 1, the fraction becomes 3/5. Find the fraction?
Pick one.
A) A)2/3
B) B)3/5
C) C)4/9
D) D)5/9
E) E) None of these
Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'n' and 'd' respectively.   d = 2n - 2   (n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5   5n + 5 = 3d + 3   5n + 5 = 3(2n - 2 ) + 3 =&gt; n = -8   d = 2n - 2 =&gt; d = -18   Hence the fraction is : 4/9   ANSWER:4/9
