Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. as they said that the denominator is 1 more than the numerator so we will take the numerator as x

2. then the denominator will be x+1

3. then they said that if 13 is added to the numerator the denominator will be 5 times the denominator that is if 13 is added to x the denominator will become 5[x+1] .

4. so the equation so formed will be x+13=5[x+1].

5. x+13=5x+5

13-5=5x-x

8=4x

x=8/4

x=2

5. we now obtained x so the numerator is x that is 2 and the denominator is x+1 = 2+1=3
