Hi

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be x/y

According to the question,

x + y = 8 ….(1)

x+3/y+3 = 3/4

4x+12=3y+9

4x-3y=-3....(2)

Multiplying (1) by 3, we get

3x + 3y = 24 ….(3)

Adding (2) and (3), we get

7x = 21

 x = 3

 y = 8 – x = 8 – 3 = 5

Thus, the fraction is 3/5
