What is the fraction if its numerator and denominator are consecutive odd numbers?

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a proper fraction is 2:3 if the numerator is reduced by 9.

Numerator—n:
2(n + 2) = 3(n - 9)
2n + 4 = 3n - 27
n = 31

Denominator:
= 31 + 2
= 33

Answer: 31/33 is the fraction
