Answer 1

6/10 is the answer please mark branliest requesting you

Answer 2

Given,

The denominator of a fraction is $4$ more than its numerator. On subtracting $1$ from each numerator and the denominator, the fraction becomes $\frac{1}{2}$.

Let the numerator be $x$

The denominator of a fraction is $4$ more than its numerator

So, $x+4$

On subtracting $1$ from each numerator and the denominator, the fraction becomes 1 /2

So, $\frac{x-1}{x+4-1}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x-1}{x+3}=\frac{1}{2}$

$2(x-1)=x+3$

$2x-2=x+3$

$2x-x=3+2$

$x=5$

Therefore, the answer is $5$.
