Well, first you have to make the bottom number the same so do: 4: 4, 8 8: 8 After that, circle the 8'a and times 3 x 2 which is 6 so 3/4 = 6/8 and 3/8 = 3/8 so it's the fruit tray

.. Please... Please tell me you know fractions at least well enough to know this ;_;

3/4 is like 0.75, yeh?
3/8 is like.. 0.365

Change the Denominator (Bottom Number in Fraction) so they're the same:
6/8 3/8.

Now d'you see?
