Question

when we add one to numerator of a fraction and simplify it, we get 1/2. when we add 1 to the denominator instead and simplify it, we get 1/3. what is this fraction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let numerator be x and denominator be y

x+1/y=1/2. eq1

x/y+1=1/3. eq2

from 1

x+1=y/2

2x+2=y. eq3

put eq3 in eq2

3x=y+1

3x=2x+2+1

x=3

y=8

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1/y=1/2=2x+2=y

x/y+1=1/3=3x=y+1

3x=2x+2+1

x=3

y=8

fraction=3/8
