Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be N and the Denominator be D, so the fraction is N / D.

According to given data,

N + D = 1 + 3N     -----(i)

(N - 1) / D = 1 / 3    {Reduced to means the fraction becomes 1 / 3}        ----(ii)

According to equation (ii) , 3(N - 1) = D

By comparing the value of D from both the equations,

1 + 3N - N = 3(N-1)

1 + 2N = 3N - 3

4 = N

So, D = 3(4 - 1) = 9

Therefore, the fraction is 4 / 9
