Question

With steps and explanation plzzz​

Answer 1

Answer:fraction = 19/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be x/y, so x+1/y+1 = 4/5

so 5x+5 = 4y+4

5x-4y =1

x-5/y-5 = 1/2

2x-10 =y-5

2x-y =5

8x-4y=20

-8x+4y =-20

Adding both equations

-3x =-19

x=19/3

95/3-4y=1

4y =95/3-1

4y= 92/3

y= 23/3

so fraction = 19/23
