Answer:

original fraction =12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = numerator

therefore

   x+3/x-7+3 =15/8

    x+3/x-4 =15/8

      8(x+3)=15(x-4)

      8x+24=15x-60

       84=7x

        84/7=x

        12=x

therefore original fraction = 12/5

andre [41]

Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 pieces of fruit in the bowl,  tangerines and 5 clementines.

Assuming that they do not put the fruit back

P (tangerine) = number of tangerines/ total = 4/9

Then John keeps his and there are  8 pieces of fruit in the bowl,  

3 tangerines and 5 clementines.

P (Clementine) = number of clementines/ total = 5/8

P (tangerine, no replacement, Clementine) = P (tangerine) * P (Clementine)

                                                                        = 4/9 * 5/8 =5/18
