Answer» Let the fraction be x/y As per given condition(x-2)/y = 1/33x - 6 = y3x - y = 6.........(1) x/(y - 1) = 1/22x = y - 12x - y = - 1.......(2) Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)3x - 2x - y + y = 6 - (-1)x = 7 Put value of x in eq(1), we get3*7 - y = 6y = 21 - 6y = 15 Therefore fraction is 7/15

A fraction becomes when 2 is subtracted from the numerator and itbecomes when 1 is subtracted from the denominator. Find the fraction.2

Answer»

Let the fraction be x/y

As per given condition(x-2)/y = 1/33x - 6 = y3x - y = 6.........(1)

x/(y - 1) = 1/22x = y - 12x - y = - 1.......(2)

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)3x - 2x - y + y = 6 - (-1)x = 7

Put value of x in eq(1), we get3*7 - y = 6y = 21 - 6y = 15

Therefore fraction is 7/15
