Amazing Set of Fractions!

What if I tell you to form two fractions with sums equal to their products?

This is like think of two numbers: Add the two numbers and then multiply the two numbers.

The result should be the same!

Is there a way for you to find out how can this be?

Fortunately, there is a formula for this!

Let x be any whole number.

Then the two numbers (x) and (x/x-1) are the two numbers we are looking for!

Sample: Let x be 5.

Then the two numbers should be 5 and 5/4.

Both have a sum and product of 6.25!

Agree with me?
