Short Answer: 4/3
Remark
Before doing the multiplication, you should do a cancellation. You can cancel fractions by dividing any numerator by the same thing that will go into any denominator or vica versa.

3 goes into 9 = 3
4 goes into 16 four times.

So the fraction cancellation looks like this.

( (16)/(4) )/( (9)/(3) ) = ( (4)/(1) )/( (3)/(1) ) = (4)/(3)
