It says to check if
(3)/(8) satisfy each equation or not.

Checking first equation :-

96 x
(3)/(8)


(96 * 3)/(8)


(288)/(8) = 36

⇒ 36 = 36. First equation is "YES".

Checking second equation :-

38 x
(3)/(8)


(38 * 3)/(8)


(114)/(8) =
(57)/(4)


(57)/(4) ≠ 14. Second equation is "NO".

Checking third equation :-

16 x
(3)/(8)


(16 * 3)/(8)


(48)/(8) = 6

⇒ 6 = 6. Third equation is "YES".

Checking fourth equation :-

56 x
(3)/(8)


(56 * 3)/(8)


(168)/(8) = 21

⇒ 21 = 21. Fourth equation is "YES".
