in a rational number... nemerator is 3 less than the denominator. if 3 is added to the numerator.. fraction becomes 1. find the fraction??

To find the fraction, let's assume the denominator is represented by the variable "x". According to the given information, the numerator is 3 less than the denominator, so it can be written as "x - 3".

We are also told that if we add 3 to the numerator, the fraction becomes 1. So, the new numerator becomes "x - 3 + 3", which simplifies to just "x".

The fraction can now be written as "x/x". Since the fraction is equal to 1, the numerator and denominator must be the same value.

Therefore, "x - 3" must be equal to "x". We can solve this equation to find the value of "x":

x - 3 = x

By subtracting "x" from both sides, we get:

-3 = 0

However, this equation has no solution because -3 does not equal 0. Therefore, there is no fraction that satisfies the given conditions.

n/d

n = d - 3

n = d - 3 + 3 = d

1/4, 2/5, 3/6 etc.
