Kindly post one query at a time.
The solution to the first question is as follows:
Let the fraction be x / y.
ATQ,   x + y =  4 + 2x   =>     y = x + 4     -------(i)
          x/( y + 3)  =  2 / 3                         -------(ii)
Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in (ii) :
x / (x + 4 + 3)  =  2 / 3
=>    3x   =   2 ( x + 7)
=>    3x - 2x = 14
So,      x  =  14
Putting in (i) we get,
y = 14 + 4 =  18
Hence the required fraction is  14 / 18
