if 1 is added to the denominator of a fraction the fraction becomes 1/2.if 1is added to the numerator of the fraction ,the fraction becomes 1. Find the fraction

Respuesta :

Let p/q be the original fraction. We know that:

[tex]\dfrac{p}{q+1}=\dfrac{1}{2},\quad \dfrac{p+1}{q}=1[/tex]

We deduce that:

[tex]2p=q+1,\quad p+1=q[/tex]

If we plug q=p+1 in the first equation, we have

[tex]2p=p+1+1 \iff p=2[/tex]

and we deduce q=3.

In fact, if we start from 2/3, adding 1 to the denominator gives 2/4=1/2

Adding 1 to the numerator gives 3/3=1.
