Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
→ let numerator be x
→ so denominator is 12-x
→ then,add 1 in both
→ the numerator is x+1
→ and denominator is 12-x+1
→ and given new fraction is 3/4
→ By question,
→ or, x+1/12-x+1=3/4
→ 4 (x+1)=3 (12-x+1)
→ 4x+4=36-3x+3
→ 4x+3x=36+3-4
→ 7x=35
→ x=35/7
→ x=5
→ so, numerator is 5
→ and denominator is 12-5=7
→ the fraction is 5/7
