Question

The numerator of a fraction is 4 less than its denominator. If 1 is added to both the
numerator and the denominator, the fraction becomes Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x-3/x+1

Explanation:

let the num. be x-4 and deno. be x.

fraction=x-4/x

after adding

fraction=1+x-4/x+1

x-3/x+1

Answer 2

Answer:

3/7

(three upon seven)

Explanation:

let's consider the numerator= n

&

denominator= d

∴, fraction will be- n= d-4

now, an add to this is that if we add 1 to both N & D, the fraction will be equivalent to 1/2. (one upon two)

In this part, we've gotta think of such numbers ourselves. Ask yourself, "What are such numbers, which have a difference of 4, and when 1 added to them, the fraction is equal to 1/2, or the numerator is half the value of the denominator.

There could be a bunch of possibilities maybe, but here's one-

THE FRACTION= 3/7 (three upon seven, or three parts out of seven)

∵ 3+4=7 or 7-4 = 3

&

3+1/7+1 = 4/8 i.e- 1/2 (since 4x2=8 or 2x4=8)

hope this helped! :)
