Answer:

3 / 4

Explanations:

The given fractions are 6/12 , 9/18, 3/4, and 4/8

For 6/12


\begin{gathered} \text{Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6} \\ (6/6)/(12/6)=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

For 9/18


\begin{gathered} \text{Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 9} \\ (9/9)/(18/9)=\text{ }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

For 3/4

3/4 is already the simplest term, It cannot be reduced further

For 4/8


\begin{gathered} \text{Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4} \\ (4/4)/(8/4)=\text{ }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

6/12, 9/18 and 4/8 reduced to 1/2 except 3/4

Therefore, 3/4 does not belong to the group
