The denominator of a fraction is 1 more than its numerator.
x/(x + 1)
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). ✔️
