Exercise 3.1 | Q 1 | Page 12
Akhila went to a fair in her village. She wanted to enjoy rides in the Giant Wheel and play Hoopla (a game in which you throw a rig on the items kept in the stall, and if the ring covers any object completely you get it.) The number of times she played Hoopla is half the number of rides she had on the Giant Wheel. Each ride costs Rs 3, and a game of Hoopla costs Rs 4. If she spent Rs 20 in the fair, represent this situation algebraically and graphically.

Exercise 3.8 | Q 1 | Page 88
The numerator of a fraction is 4 less than the denominator. If the numerator is decreased by 2 and denominator is increased by 1, then the denominator is eight times the numerator. Find the fraction.
Exercise 3.8 | Q 2 | Page 88

Exercise 3.8 | Q 4 | Page 89
If we add 1 to the numerator and subtract 1 from the denominator, a fraction becomes 1. It also becomes 1/2 if we only add 1 to the denominator. What is the fraction?
Exercise 3.8 | Q 5 | Page 89
Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction bex andy respectively. Then the fraction is `x/y`
If the numerator is multiplied by 2 and the denominator is reduced by 5, the fraction becomes `6/5`. Thus, we have
`(2x)/(y-5)=6/5`
`⇒ 10x=6(y-5)`
`⇒ 10x=6y-30`
`⇒ 10x-6y+30 =0`
`⇒ 2(5x-3y+15)=0`
`⇒ 5x - 3y+15=0`
If the denominator is doubled and the numerator is increased by 8, the fraction becomes `2/5`. Thus, we have
`(x+8)/(2y)=2/5`
`⇒ 5(x+8)=4y`
`⇒ 5x+40=4y`
`⇒ 5x-4y+40=0`
So, we have two equations
`5x-3y+15=0`
`5x-4y+40=0`
Herex andy are unknowns. We have to solve the above equations forx andy.
By using cross-multiplication, we have
`x/((-3)xx40-(-4)xx15)=-y/(5xx40-5xx15)=1/(5xx(-4)-5xx(-3))`
`⇒ x/(-120+60)=(-y)/(200-75)=1/(-20+15)`
`⇒x/(-60)=-y/125``=1/-5`
`⇒ x= 60/5,y=125/5`
`⇒ x=12,y=25`
Hence, the fraction is `12/25`
Exercise 3.8 | Q 6 | Page 89
Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction bex andy respectively. Then the fraction is `x/y`
If 3 is added to the denominator and 2 is subtracted from the numerator, the fraction becomes `1/4`. Thus, we have
`(x-2)/(y+3)=1/4`
`⇒ 4(x-2)=y+3`
`⇒ 4x-8=y+3`
`⇒ 4x-y-11=0`
If 6 is added to the numerator and the denominator is multiplied by 3, the fraction becomes `2/3`. Thus, we have
`(x+6)/(3y)=2/3`
`⇒ 3(x+6)=6y`
`⇒ 3x +18 =6y`
`⇒ 3x-6y+18=0`
`⇒ 3(x-2y+6)=0`
`⇒ x-3y+6=0`
Herex andy are unknowns. We have to solve the above equations forx andy.
By using cross-multiplication, we have
`x/((-1)xx6-(-2)xx(-11))=(-y)/(4xx6-1xx(-11))=1/(4xx(-2)-1xx(-1))`
`⇒ x/(-6-22)=-y/(24+11)=1/(-8+1)`
`⇒ x/-28=-y/35=1/-7`
`⇒ x= 28/7,y=35/7`
`⇒ x= 4,y=5`
Hence, the fraction is`4/5`
Exercise 3.8 | Q 7 | Page 89
The sum of a numerator and denominator of a fraction is 18. If the denominator is increased by 2, the fraction reduces to 1/3. Find the fraction.
