Answer 1

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the fraction be x / y

according to the question

x - 1/y = 1 / 3

3x - y = 3 ..............eq (1)

x/y + 8 = 1 /4

4x - y = 8 .................eq (2)

subtracting 1 from 2

we get x = 5

putting this value in equation 1

15 - y = 3

y = 12

fraction = 5 /12
