Answer:


x=(3)/(4)

Explanation:

Whenever we have 2 fractions equal to each other, we first cross multiply, then take variables to one side and numbers to other side and use basic algebra to solve for the variable [here, it is x].

The process is shown below:


(9)/(16x)=(3)/(4)\\9*4=16x*3\\36=48x\\x=(36)/(48)=(3)/(4)

So, x = 3/4
