Question

if we add 1 to the numerator and subtract 1 from the denominator, a fraction reduces to 1. it becomes 1/2 if we only add 1 to the denominator. what is the fraction?​

Answer 1

Answer: The fraction is 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation: So the end goal of the fraction(let's call it, y/z) is x/x.

We know that y+1 =x, z-1 =x, and y/z+1 = 1/2. Therefore,

y= z-2

z = y+2

------------------------------

y/((y+2)+1) = 1/2

y/y+3 =1/2

y=3

z = 3+2 = 5

3/5
