Hello.

In order to find out which option is true, let's simplify all these fractions:


\displaystyle(3)/(4)

This fraction is already in its simplest form.

Let's simplify the following fraction:


\displaystyle(9)/(16)

This fraction is also in its simplest form.

Thus, Option A is false.


\displaystyle(6)/(8)

Divide both the top and bottom by 2:


\displaystyle(3)/(4)

Is it equivalent (equal) to
\displaystyle\frac{4}3}? No, these fractions are reciprocals.

Thus, Option B is false as well; we have two remaining options.

We can see right off the bat that 3 is on no account equal to 8, so we cross out Option C.

Thus, Option D is the correct option.

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day!
