Answer:


(3)/(4)

Explanation:

  1. Find a common denominator for the 2 denominators: 6
  2. Change the fractions: 2 × 3 = 6, 1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 2 = 6, 2 × 2 = 4
  3. Re-write the fractions:
    (3)/(6) and
    (4)/(6)
  4. Write as an expression:
    (3)/(6) ÷
    (4)/(6)

  5. (3)/(6) ÷
    (4)/(6) =
    (3)/(6) ×
    (6)/(4)

  6. (3)/(6) ×
    (6)/(4) = (18)/(24)

  7. (18)/(24) = (3)/(4)

I hope this helps!
