Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the fraction be x/y

if we add 1 to the numerator and subtract 1 from denominator-

x+1/y-1=1

by cross multiply

x=y----eq.1

second step-

if we add 1 to the denominator-

x/y+1=1/2

by cross multiply

2x=y+1

x=y+1/2

by putting the value of x from eq. 1

y=y+1/2

2y=y+1

2y-y=1

y=1

putting the value of y in eq.1

x=y

x=1
