Question

if we add1 to the numerator and subtract 1 from the denominator, a fraction reduces
1. It becomes1/2
if we only add 1 to the denominator. What is the fraction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. let fraction be x/y

numerator be x

denominator be y

x+1/x-1=1

x+1=1(y-1)

x-y=-1-1

x-y=-2 .............................1

x/y+1=1/2

2x=1(y+1)

2x=y+1

2x-y=1............................2

by any method find x and y

x-y=-2

2x-y=1

y=3

x=5

so the fraction becomes 5/3
