Answer:


(3)/(4) ,
(4)/(3)

Explanation:

If we have 3 and 4

We can make 2 different fractions

first one
(3)/(4)

second one
(4)/(3)

To express a fraction as mixed fraction, it must be greater than one

The second fraction is greater than 1

Mixed form of
(4)/(3)= 1(1)/(3)

I would not use a mixed form

A simple fraction form is better to use as all operations such as addition,subtraction,division,multiplication are done in this form.

To do this operations on a Mixed number, we convert it back to simple fraction,

So Simple fraction form is better to be used
