Answer:

all are NO

Explanation:

No integer ratio with 8 in the denominator can be equal to any integer ratio with 3 in the denominator.

__

The denominators 8 and 3 are relatively prime, so equivalent fractions using them cannot be formed with integers.

The equivalent to 4/3 has a mixed-number numerator that is greater than 8.


(4)/(3)=(10(2)/(3))/(8)

This matches none of the offered choices.
