Question 1113374
<br>
In the fraction we end up with, 1/6, the denominator is 5 more than the numerator.<br>
So if we started with a fraction in which the denominator was 5 more than the numerator, and we subtracted 2 from both numerator and denominator to end up with 1/6, then we can find the fraction we started with by adding 2 to both numerator and denominator of our ending fraction, 1/6.<br>
1+2=3; 6+2=8.<br>
The fraction we started with was 3/8.
