Answer 4

I keep coming up with 11/4, but that's not one of my options

Answer 5

did you try to solve the equation I gave you above?

Answer 6

\[\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{x}{1} \\ \text{ or } \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{5}}=x\]
you are just dividing 3/4 by 3/5

Answer 7

can you try finishing from here?
\[x=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot \frac{\frac{5}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}\]
let me know what you get after trying to do this multiplication on top and bottom

Answer 8

I'm not sure how to do that

Answer 9

\[x=\frac{\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{3}}{\frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{3}} \\ x=\frac{\frac{3(5)}{4(3)}}{\frac{3(5)}{5(3)}}\]

Answer 10
