Answer: 23/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator be p ⇒ Denominator = p+12
According to the problem Numerator is decreased by 2 ⇒ Numerator = p-2
Denominator is increased by 7 ⇒ Denominator = (p+12) +7 = p+19
New Fraction = 1/2
⇒ (p-2)/(p+19) = 1/2
⇒2(p-2) = p+19
⇒2p - 4 = p + 19
⇒ p = 23
Old Numerator = p = 23
Old Denominator = p+12 = 35
Fraction is 23/35
