1. Answer:

   5/7

   Step-by-step explanation:

   let the numerator be x

   the denominator is 2more so,

   x/x+2

   if 1added to the denominator and 1subtracted from the numerator,

   x-1/x+2+1 =

   x-1/x+3 =1/2

   cross multiply

   2(x-1)= x+3

   2x-2 = x+3

   2x- x = 3+2

   x= 5

   so the numerator is 5 and so denominator would be x+2 i.e 5+2 = 7

   ans is 5/7
