Heya !!!
Let denominator of fraction be X .
Numerator = ( X - 4 ).
Fraction = Numerator / Denominator = X-4/X
According to question,
( X - 4 + 1 ) / ( X + 1 ) = 1/2
X - 3 / X + 1 = 1/2
2 ( X- 3 ) = X + 1
2X - 6 = X + 1
2X- X = 1+6
X = 7
Denominator of fraction = X = 7
And,
Numerator = X - 4 = 7-4 = 3
Fraction = Numerator/Denominator = 3/7.
