please give me thanks and follow me
Let numerator = x
Denominator = x + 4
fraction = \frac{x}{x + 4}
×××××××××××××××××××
When 1 is subtracted from both, fraction becomes 1/2
So,
\frac{x - 1}{x + 4 - 1} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{x - 1}{ x+ 3} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ 2(x -1) = x + 3 \\ \\ 2x - 2 = x + 3 \\ \\ 2x - x = 3 + 2 \\ \\ x = 5 \\ \\ \\ \\ fraction \: = \frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{5}{5 + 4} = \frac{5}{9}
Original fraction =5/9
