Official Explanation
Multiplying both parts of a ratio by the same positive number produces an equivalent ratio. While you could multiply both fractions in the ratio by any number, 24 is a good number to choose because it is the least common multiple of 3 and 8. Thus, multiplying both 1/3 and 3/8 by 24, you get that the ratio of 1/3 to 3/8 is equal to the ratio of 8 to 9. The correct answer is Choice D.
An alternate approach to this problem is to express the ratio of 1/3 to 3/8 as the fraction. This fraction is equivalent to \((\frac{1}{3})(\frac{3}{8})\) or \(\frac{8}{9}.\)
The correct answer is Choice D.
