Question

If $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5}{8}$, state whether the value the $\frac{a+b}{a-b}$ is $\frac{13}{-3}$, Mark TRUE if answer $\frac{13}{-3}$ otherwise mark FALSE.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Given that,

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5}{8}$

$\therefore a=5x;b=8x$

$\frac{a+b}{a-b}=\frac{5x+8x}{5x-8x}=\frac{13x}{-3x}=\frac{13}{-3}$

Hence the answer is TRUE
