For clarity please consider expressing your product 2 3/4x 3/3 as

(2 3/4) * (3/3)

2 3/4 can be written as the improper fraction 11/4, and 3/3 as simply 1.

Then your product is (11/4)(1) = 11/4.

This is more than the factor 3/3, so eliminate answer choice 1.
This product is greater than 11/4 and greater than 1.
This product is equal to one of the factors (11/4).
