Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.

Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.

Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12.  Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.

Now we just use algebra.

x/(x+4) = 8/12

12x = 8(x+4)

12x = 8x + 32

4x = 32

x = 8

So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
