Question

If we add I to the numerator and subtract 1 from the denominator, a
fraction reduces to 1. It becomes - if we only add 1 to the denominator.
What is the fraction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

no.=x

numerator=x+1

denominator=x-1+1

x+1/x-1+1

x+2/x+1

2x/-2

x=-2/2

Answer 2

$\huge\sf{Correct\:Question}$

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

$\huge\sf{\underline{\underline{Solution:}}}$

Given :-

• If we add 1 to numerator, and subtract 1 from the denomination, a fraction reduce the 1.

• It becomes ½ if we only add 1 to the denominator.

To Find :-

• The Fraction

_____________________________

• Let the fraction be x/y                  

According to the question,

⇒ x + 1/y - 1 = 1                  

⇒ x - y = - 2 ... (i)

⇒ x/y + 1 = 1/2                  

⇒ 2x - y = 1 ... (ii)              

Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get                  

⇒ x = 3 ... (iii)            

Putting this value in equation (i), we get                  

⇒ 3 - y = - 2                  

⇒ -y =  5                  

⇒ y = 5                  

Hence, the fraction is 3/5
