In a fraction, the denominator is 5 more than the numerator. If 3 is added to the numerator and 1 to the denominator, the fraction becomes 2/3. What is the original fraction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3/8

Let the numerator be x, so the denominator is x + 5. Then (x + 3)/(x + 6) = 2/3, giving 3x + 9 = 2x + 12 and x = 3. The denominator is 8, so the original fraction is 3/8.
