Question

A fraction is such that the denominator is 2 more than the numerator if each numerator and denominator is increased by 1 the fraction becomes 2/3 find the original fraction

Answer 1

Let the numerator be x
So denominator is x + 2
If 1 is added to both of them
Numerator = x + 1
Denominator = x + 3
ATP
x + 1 / x + 3 = 2 / 3
=> 3 (x + 1) = 2 ( x + 3)
=> 3x + 3 = 2x + 6
=> 3x - 2x = 6 - 3
=> x = 3
So the fraction is 3 / 5.
Hope it helps.
