In a fraction, the numerator is (3) less than the denominator. If (2) is added to both numerator and denominator, the fraction becomes (\frac{4}{5}). What is the original fraction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{10}{13})
Let the denominator be (y), so the numerator is (y-3). From (\frac{y-1}{y+2}=\frac{4}{5}), (y=13), so the fraction is (\frac{10}{13}).
