Answer:

1st box = 2/3

2nd box = 16/3

==============================================

Work Shown for the 1st box

2/3 = x/1

x = 2/3

There's not much in terms of steps

------------

Another approach for the 1st box

2/x = 3/1

2*1 = x*3

2 = 3x

x = 2/3

------------

Work Shown for the 2nd box

2/3 = x/8

2*8 = 3*x ... cross multiplying

16 = 3x

x = 16/3

Optionally this can be converted into a mixed number

16/3 = (15+1)/3

16/3 = 15/3 + 1/3

16/3 = 5 + 1/3

16/3 = 5 & 1/3
