Please do correction as foolowing:

The numerator of a rational number is 3 less than its denominator. If the

numerator is increased by 1 and the denominator is increased by 3, the number becomes 1/2 Find the rational number.

=================================================

Let the numerator=x

then denominator=x+3

If the numerator is increased by 1 and the denominator is increased by 3, then the number

=(x+1)/ (x+6)=1/2

2(x+1)=x+6

2x+2=x+6

x=4

Thus the number is 4/7
