Final answer:

To compare who climbed higher between Sabina and Vicente, convert their climbed portions to a common denominator. Sabina climbed 3/4 (or 6/8) of the wall which is higher than Vicente's 3/8, indicating that Sabina climbed higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to compare two fractions and determine which is larger, which indicates who climbed the highest on the wall. To compare 3/4 and 3/8, you can either find a common denominator or convert them to decimal form to see which is greater.

Here's how to compare:

  • Find a common denominator: The least common multiple of 4 and 8 is 8. Therefore, convert 3/4 to a fraction with a denominator of 8, which is 6/8. Now compare 6/8 and 3/8.
  • It is clear that 6/8 is greater than 3/8, so Sabina climbed higher than Vicente.
