If you simplify that you end up with 3/4
Could we get more information please?
Any two consecutive numbers can be written as
' X ' and ' X + 1 ' .
Their sum is [ x + (x+1) ] = 2x+1
You said the sum is 53, so
2x + 1 = 53
Subtract 1 from each side:
2x = 52
Divide each side by 2:
x = 26
The numbers are 26 and 27 .
