Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the fraction as x/y

X+y=12

X/y+3=1/2*x/y

X/y + 3 = x/2y

3= x/y- x/2y

X/y=3

3y=x

3y + y= 12

Y=3

X=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x and denominator be y, then

x+y= 12

x=12-y

Now,

x/ y=1/2

= 2x= y+3

putting the value of x we get

2(12-y) =y+3

24-2y=y+3

-3y=-21

y=7

putting y=9, we get

x+7=12

x=5

required fraction is 5/7
