Let the numerator = x
Let the denominator = y
Now,
fraction becomes = x/y
According to the first condition,
(x − 1)/y = 1/3
⇒y = 3x − 3 ......(1)
According to the second condition,
x/(y + 8) = 1/4
⇒y + 8 = 4x
⇒y = 4x − 8 .........(2)
from (1) and (2),
3x − 3 = 4x − 8
⇒3x − 4x = −8 + 3
−x = −5
⇒x = 5
from (1), we get
y = 15 − 3 = 12
So, the required fraction = 5/12 ___answer
