Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator be 'x' and then the denominator will be 'x+5'.
Now, According to the question :-
x + 8/x+5+8 = 3/4
=> x + 8/x + 13 = 3/4
=> 3(x + 13) = 4(x + 8)
=> 3x + 39 = 4x + 32
=> 4x - 3x = 39 - 32
Therefore, x = 7
Now, Orginal fraction = numerator/numerator + 5 ( denominator)
= x/x+5 (As we have already let "x " to be the numerator)
= 7/7+5
= 7/12
Hope it helps :)
