Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Given that the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator.

Also given that 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth .

Let the fraction be  

Since the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator we have,

Numerator=Denominator-4

⇒ a=b-4

Since 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth we have

4(a-3)=1(b+5)

4a-12=b+5

4a-b=17

4(b-4)-b=17   ( ∵ a=b-4)

4b-16-b=17

3b=17+16

3b=33

⇒ b=11

Now put b=11 in a=b-4 we get

a=11-4

⇒  the fraction is a/b=7/11
