Step-by-step explanation:

HEYA MATE, HERE IS UR ANSWER ___________________

Let the denominator be x.

So ,the numerator becomes x-1.

Original fraction =x-1/x

According to the question

x-1+4/x+5=4/5

x+3/x+5=4/5

5 (x+3)=4 (x+5)

5x+15=4x+20

5x-4x=20-15

x=5

Original fraction =x-1/x

= 5-1/5

= 4/5

ANSWER ::

Let x be the denominator

Then numerator = x - 1

So the fraction = (x-1)/x

So by the given condition

(x-1 +4)/ (x+5) =4/ 5

(x+3)/(x+5)= 4/5

5x+ 15= 4x + 20

5x - 4x = 20 - 15

x = 5

So the required fraction = 4/5
