Question. 65

The denominator of a fraction is 1 more than its numerator.

Answer:

x/(x + 1)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: We are told: “The denominator is 1 more than the numerator.”

Step 2: Let the numerator be a letter, say x (it can be 1, 2, 3, …).

( ext{Numerator} = x)

Step 3: Since the denominator is 1 more than the numerator:

( ext{Denominator} = x + 1)

Step 4: Write the fraction as “numerator over denominator”:

(displaystyle ext{Fraction} = rac{x}{x + 1})

Quick check (example): If (x = 3), then the fraction is (dfrac{3}{3+1} = dfrac{3}{4}). The denominator (4) is indeed 1 more than the numerator (3). ✔️
