Question

the numinator of a fraction is two less than the denominator if 1 is added to the denominator it becomes 1/2 find the fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/1or 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denomenator be x

Then numerator =2-x

New,

Denomenator =x+1

Given fraction, =1/2

On crossmultiplying 2-x/x+1 with 1/2

We get 2(2-x)=1(x+1)

4-2x=x+1

-2x-x=1-4

-3x=-3

On neglecting (-)

we get

3x=3

Therefore x=3/3=1

Therefore fraction is 1/1
