Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator=x
then denominator=x+3
Then fraction=x/x+3
===================================
(i) if numerator is subtracted from its denominator
Then denominator=x+3-x=3
========================
(ii) If the denominator
is added to its numerator
then numerator=x+x+3=2x+3
======================
Now fraction becomes
=(2x+3) /3=11/3 ( Given)
or 2x+3=11
2x=8
x=4
So the fraction is:
4/7
