Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

To find out what x is in this case, divide 3/4 by 9/8.

3/4 / 9/8

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying it's inverse.

3/4 * 8/9

Cross cancellation (3 & 9 (GCF: 3); 4 & 8 (GCF: 4)

1/1 * 2/3

We can remove the 1/1.

2/3

2/3 is the value of x that will make 3/4 ÷ x = 9/8 true.
