Answer 2

The correct option is A) 9.

Explanation:

Consider the provided fraction.

`(3)/(8) = (?)/(24)`

Replace ? with x and solve the above fraction for x.

`(3)/(8) = (x)/(24)`

Multiply both the sides by 24.

`(3)/(8)* 24 = (x)/(24)* 24`

`3* 3 = x`

`x=9`

Hence, the value of ? or x should be 9.

The correct option is A) 9.
