Question

The numerator of a fraction is one less than the denominator. If the numerator is decreased by 3 and the denominator is increased by 2, the fraction becomes 3/4 Find the fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

21/22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x.

Denominator = x + 1

According to Question,

(x-3) / (x+1+2) = 3/4

(x-3) / (x+3) = 3/4

4 (x-3) = 3 (x+3)

4x - 12 = 3x + 9

4x - 3x = 9 + 12

x = 21

Numerator = 21

Denominator = 21 + 1 = 22

Hence, fraction = 21/22
