Answer:

the fraction is 8/11

Step-by-step explanation:

let the franction be x/y

according to the question

x-2 = 1

y+1 2

2x - 4 = y+1

y= 2x -4 - 1

y = 2x - 5

x+4 = 3

y-3 2

2x+ 8 = 3y -9

2x + 8 = 3( 2x - 5) -9 (substituting the value of y)

8+9 = 6x - 15 -2x

17+15 = 4x

32/4 = x

x = 8

y = 2x - 5

2×8 - 5

16 - 5

11

therefore the fraction is 8

11
