what fraction, when placed in the blank below, makes the equation true?
\\( \frac{6}{8} = \underline{?} \\)
\\( \bigcirc \\) a. \\( \frac{2}{3} \\)
\\( \bigcirc \\) b. \\( \frac{1}{2} \\)
\\( \bigcirc \\) c. \\( \frac{2}{6} \\)
\\( \bigcirc \\) d. \\( \frac{3}{4} \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the fraction $\frac{6}{8}$

To simplify a fraction, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator and divide both by it. The GCD of 6 and 8 is 2. So we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2: $\frac{6\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{3}{4}$.

Step2: Check the options

We compare the simplified fraction with the given options. Option D is $\frac{3}{4}$, which matches our simplified fraction.

Answer:

D. $\frac{3}{4}$
