I. Solve the following word problems. Show your solution.

1. The denominator of a fraction is greater than the numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 17 and denominator is decreased
by 1, the number obtained is 3/2, find the fraction.
n
Let fraction be .
y
y = n+8 (given). If numerator is increased by 17, then numerator become n+17, and denominator is decreased by 1, then denominator
become y-1.
n+17 3
Number becomes = 3n -2n=34-21

2. Among the two supplementary angles, the measure of the larger angle is 36° more than the measure of smaller. Find their
measures
Solution

Let us assume supplementary be x∘ and (180−x)

From the question,
The measure of the larger angle is 36∘ more than the measure of the smaller angle, let the larger angle be x. Then,
= (180−x) +36 = x
= 216− x = x
= 216=x + x
= 216 =2x
= x=216/2
= x=108
Larger angle =108∘
Smaller angle = (108−36) ∘ =72

3. The length of the rectangle exceeds its breadth by 3 cm. If the length and breadth are each increased by 2 cm, then the area of new
rectangle will be 70 sq. cm more than that of the given rectangle. Find the length and breadth of the given rectangle.

Let b be the breadth 

length =b+3
If length and breadth increased by 2cm new area is 70 sq cm more
b(b+3) + 70 = (b+2) (b+5)
b2+3b+70 = b2+2b+5b+10
4b=60
b=15
l=15+3 = 18.

4. A 300 m long wire is used to fence a rectangular plot whose length is twice its width. Find the length and breadth of the plot.
 fense=300m
perimeter=300m
2(l + b) =300
2(2x+x) =300
3x=150
x=50
width = 50m, and
length 2x = 2×50 = 100m.

5. Seven times the number is 36 less than 10 times the number. Find the number. 
Let no. is x
7x=10x-36
10x-7x=36
3x=36
