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
