Answer:

3rd option: 32/24

Explanation:

8/6 = 4/3

1st option: Now let's change the denominator to 24:

4/3 ==> ?/24

4/3 =

4*8 / 3*8 = 32/24, not 3/24.

2nd option: Now let's change the numerator to 24:

4/3 ==> 24/?

4/3 =

4*6 / 3*6 = 24/18, not 24/32

24/32 = 3/4, not 4/3 ==> don't get confused by this

3rd option: 32/24 is correct [Look at the explanation for 1st option]

4/3 ==> ?/24

4/3 =

4*8 / 3*8 = 32/24, not 3/24.

Hence, the 3rd option is correct.
