Answer:

Numerator = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator is x.

The denominator is 6 more that the numerator, 6+x

The fraction is equivalent to 1/3. ATQ,

[tex]\dfrac{x}{x+6}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

Cross multiplying both sides,

[tex]3x=x+6\\\\3x-x=6\\\\2x=6\\\\x=\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\x=3[/tex]

Numerator = 3

So, the numerator is 3.
