If \(\frac{3}{x} = 2\) and \(\frac{y}{4} = 3\), then \(\frac{(3 + y)}{(x + 4)} =\)

(A) 10/9
(B) 3/2
(C) 20/11
(D) 30/11
(E) 5

So, \(x = \frac{3}{2}\) & \(y = 12\)

Now,\(\frac{(3 + y)}{(x + 4)}\)

Or, \(\frac{3 + 12}{3/2 + 4}\)

Or, \(\frac{15}{11/2}\)

= \(\frac{30}{11}\) , Answer must be (D)

GMAT Club is introducing a new project: The Official Guide For GMAT® Quantitative Review, 2ND Edition - Quantitative Questions Project

Each week we'll be posting several questions from The Official Guide For GMAT® Quantitative Review, 2ND Edition and then after couple of days we'll provide Official Answer (OA) to them along with a slution.

We'll be glad if you participate in development of this project:
1. Please provide your solutions to the questions;
2. Please vote for the best solutions by pressing Kudos button;
3. Please vote for the questions themselves by pressing Kudos button;
4. Please share your views on difficulty level of the questions, so that we have most precise evaluation.

Thank you!


Given:
1. 3/x = 2 ; x = 3/2 = 1.5
2. y/4 = 3; y = 12

Asked: (3 + y)/(x + 4) = ?

(3 + y)/(x + 4)
(3+12)/(1.5 + 4)
= 15/5.5
= 30/11

3/x = 2
==> x= 3/2

y/4 = 3
==> y= 3*4=12

Now, (3 + y)/(x + 4) = (3+12)/(3/2 +4)

= 15/(11/2)
=30/11
