Answer:

\frac{23}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

let the denominator of the original fraction be x, then

\frac{x-7}{x} ← is the original fraction

After the given changes, that is

\frac{3(x-7)}{x+16} = \frac{3}{2} ( cross- multiply )

6(x - 7) = 3(x + 16) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

6x - 42 = 3x + 48 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

3x - 42 = 48 ( add 42 to both sides )

3x = 90 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 30

Thus

\frac{30-7}{30} = \frac{23}{30} ← the original rational number
