y

x

=

5

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator = x,

denominator = y,

Required fraction = \frac{x}{y}---(1)

y

x

−−−(1)

According to the problem given,

if we add 1 to numerator, and subtract 1 from the denomination,the fraction reduce the 1,we get

Answer 2

Answer:

let the fraction be x/y so

acc to question-

x+1/y-1=1

x+1=y-1

x+2=y......(1)

Also , x/y+1=1/2

2x=y+1

2x=x+2+1. (using (1))

x=3

from(1) we get-

y=5

hence the fraction is 3/5

Hope it helps!
