Question

the numeratorfraction is 4 less than the demominator it 1 is added to both its numerator and denomerator becomes 1/2. find the fraction​.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Let the denominator be x.

• Thus, the numerator will be x - 4

According to Question now,

➳ (x - 4) + 1/x + 1 = 1/2

➳ 2(x - 4 + 1) = 1(x + 1)

➳ 2x - 8 + 2 = x + 1

➳ 2x - 6 = x + 1

➳ 2x - x = 1 + 6

➳ 3x = 7

➳ x = 3/7

Therefore,the required fraction is 3/7.
