Answer 2

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

[ Your question is lacking some information, so i suppose the question to be:

The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than its denominator. If we add 1 to both numerator and denominator it becomes equal to 2/3. Find the fraction ]

let a and b be the numerator and denominator resply.,

then given that,

a = b-3  ----------------- (1)

and (a+1)/(b+1) = 2/3  

=> 3a+3  = 2b+2  

=> 3a = 2b-3+2 =>

3a = 2b-1  ---------------(2)

3*(1) - (2)

=> 3a-3a = 3b-9 - 2b+1

=> 0 = b-8

=> b = 8

so, (1) => a = 8-3

         => a = 5

and hence the fraction is 5/8
