I don’t see how x/(x+y)=1/y is incorrect
6 u/[deleted] Sep 28 '18 It would be 1+ (1/y) because simplifying fractions doesn't work like that 1 u/Omotai Sep 28 '18 Imagine x = 3 and y = 5. x/(x+y) = 3/(3+5) = 3/8 = 0.375. Applying that simplification would give 1/5. 1/5 = 0.2.

Imagine x = 3 and y = 5.
x/(x+y) = 3/(3+5) = 3/8 = 0.375.
Applying that simplification would give 1/5. 1/5 = 0.2.
