The number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction is 11/36

let

x = no. added to the numerator

2x = no. added to denominator

We have,

x+11/2x+36=1/3

Cross multiply

3(x+11) = (2x + 36)

3x + 33 = 2x + 36

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 36 - 33

x=3

The number is 3

Check:

3+11/6+36=1/3

14/42=1/3
