Answer:
Let the fraction be x/y
then according to question: x=y-6
now, 3 is added to numerator. so, x+3
i.e. y-6+3= y-3 and 1 is subtracted from denominator. so, denominator becomes: y-1
now, according to question: y-3/y-1 = 2/3
solving this equation by cross multiplication we get, y= 7 and x= y-6
so, x= 7-6
x= 1
