denominator. What is the fraction?
O
3/4​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey here is your solution

pls mark it as brainliest pls

so here we go

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numerator of fraction be x and that of denominator be y

so our required fraction is x/y

according to the first condition

x+1/y-1=1

ie (x+1)=y-1

ie x+=y-1

so y=x+2 (1)

according to second condition

x/y+1=1/2

ie 2x=y+1 (2)

substitute value of y from (1) in (2)

we get

2x=x+2+1

ie x=3

so substitute value of x in any of two equations

we get

y=5

so it fraction was x/y

ie x/y=3/5

so hence required fraction fraction is 3/5
