$\frac{3}{4} : \frac{2}{3} = 9 : 8$ $color(red)(3/4:2/3 = 9:8)$

You want to convert the fractional proportion $\frac{3}{4} : \frac{2}{3}$ $3/4:2/3$ to a proportion of two integers.

Multiply each side of the proportionality by the lowest common multiple of the denominators.

The lowest common multiple of the denominators ( $4 and 3$ $"4 and 3"$ ) is $12$ $12$ .

$\frac{3}{4} : \frac{2}{3} = (\frac{3}{4} \times 12) : (\frac{2}{3} \times 12)$ $3/4:2/3 = (3/4× 12):(2/3×12)$

∴ $\frac{3}{4} : \frac{2}{3} = 9 : 8$ $3/4:2/3 = 9:8$
