Answer:

Option C is correct

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to select which of the options have the same value as 7/3

We examine the options one urge other.

Option A

9/49; This is wrong as it cannot be divided further to yield while multiples

Option B

18/42; Dividing through by 6 will yield 3/7 which is not same as 7/3; This makes this option wrong too

Option C

42/18; dividing through by 6 will yield 7/3 which makes this option correct

Option D

49/9; This is a dead end as it cannot be divided further to give whole number multiples
