1. Let the actual numerator be x

   Then, the actual denominator is (x-44)

   Now, According to the question

   x : (x+44) :: 11 : 17

   or, [tex]\frac{x}{x+44} = \frac{11}{17}[/tex]

   or, 17x = (11x+484)

   or, 17x-11x = 484

   or, 6x = 484

   or, x = [tex]\frac{484}{6}[/tex] =80.66666666… ≈ 80.667

   I think you got the question wrong.

   Thank you!
