Answer:

5/4

Explanation:

Let's put the unknown value as X

To solve this equation, we must solve for x

First we need to isolate x, which means we need to get it by itself.

To do this, we must subtract 3/4 on both sides since it is being added.

This gets rid of 3/4 on the first side and changes the second side to whatever 2+3/4 is

This leaves us with x=5/4

Therefore, your answer is 5/4.

Answer:

The answer is 5/6.

Explanation:

Lets start with a=1.

a+1=2, which is the denominator. (1/2)

Taking the same number as numerator, now, consider a=2.

a+1=3, denominator.(2/3)

Now, let a=3.

a+1==4, denominator for a=3. (3/4)

If continued a becomes equal to 4.

a+1=5, which is also the denominator. (4/5)

Now, since the denominator is 5, let a=5.

a+1=6, which will become the denominator. (5/6)

Thus the series follows a pattern of a/a+1.
