Hey there!

First, let's try simplifying all the fractions. . .

3/4: 3 cannot be divided and equal a whole number (only 4 can) This is in simplest form.

7/10:
7 cannot be divided and equal a whole number (only 10 can) this is in simplest form.

(correct answer)
9/12: 9 divided by 3 = 3 and 12 divided by 3 = 4 so this fraction in simplest form is 3/4.

4/15:
15 cannot be divided and equal a whole number (only the 4 can) this fraction is in simplest form.

Final answer:
9/12

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
