Let the numerator be x.
then, the denominator = x+8
a/q x+3 / x+8 = 4/5
⇒ 5(x+3) = 4(x+8)
⇒ 5x + 15 = 4x + 32
⇒ 5x- 4x = 32 - 15
∴ x = 17
so, the numerator is 17
the denominator = 17+8 = 25
and the original fraction is 17/25 .
then, the denominator = x+8
a/q x+3 / x+8 = 4/5
⇒ 5(x+3) = 4(x+8)
⇒ 5x + 15 = 4x + 32
⇒ 5x- 4x = 32 - 15
∴ x = 17
so, the numerator is 17
the denominator = 17+8 = 25
and the original fraction is 17/25 .

Hi Friend,
Here is your answer,
Numerator=x
Denominator=x+y
According to the question, x+3 / x+8 = 4/5
5(x+3) = 4(x+8)
5x + 15 = 4x + 32
5x- 4x = 32 - 15
x=17
Numerator is =17
Denominator = 17+8=25
THE ORIGINAL FACTOR IS 17/25
Hope it helps you!
