onsider x to be the numerator and y to be the denominator of the given fraction.

Therefore, the given fraction is.

Since, the numerator of the fraction is 4 less than the denominator.

Therefore,

If the numerator is decreased by 2 and denominator is increased by 1, then the denominator is 8 times the numerator.

Therefore,

Therefore, the system of equations we get is

           (i)

         (ii)

We shall subtract equation (ii) from equation (i),

By substituting the value of x in equation (i), we get

Therefore, the given fraction is 3/7
