Answer:
The fraction is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the numerator be x and the denominator be y
fraction =x/y
A.T.Q.
y=2x.......(1)
x+2/y+2=3/4.....(2)
Putting the value of y in (2)
x+2/2x+2=3/4
4(x+2)=3(2x+2)
4x+8=6x+6
6x-4x=8-6
2x=2
x=1
Putting the value of x in (1)
y=2×1
y=2

Answer:
Let the fraction be, x/y
CASE 1:
Denominator is twice the numerator,
y=2x .....(1)
CASE 2:
x+2/y+2=3/4
4(x+2)=3(y+2)
4x+8=3y+6
4x-3y= -2
4x-3(2x)= -2 (∵y=2x from 1)
4x-6x= -2
-2x= -2
⇒x=1
from 1,
⇒y=2
∴the required fraction is 1/2
