(x+1)/72 = (x-1)/54
x+1 = (72x-72)54
54x+54 = 72x-72
54x-72x = -72-54
-18x = -126
x = 7

Why is the answer less when dividing fractions?
Assuming you mean "the result is less than the first number", this isn't always true: * The answer will indeed be LESS than the first number, if you divide by a number that is GREATER THAN one. * On the other hand, the answer will be GREATER than the first number, if you divide by a number that is LESS THAN one. For example, if you divide 6 by 2, you get 3, which is less than 6. On the other hand, if you divide 6 by 1/2, you get 12, which is more than 6.
