Answer 2

Let the numerator be x

The denominator is 5 more than the numerator

So, let the denominator be x + 5

Given, the sum of numerator and denominator is 7

According to the question,

x + x + 5 = 7

➾ 2x + 5 = 7

➾ 2x = 7 - 5

➾ 2x = 2

➾ x = 1

∴ Numerator ➾ x

➾ $\boxed{1}$

∴ Denominator ➾ x + 5

➾ 1 + 5

➾ $\boxed{6}$

∴ The fraction is $\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\dfrac{1}{6}}}}}}$
