You can just set 3/4=X/8, when you multiply the 4 through you get 3=4x/8 which can be simplied to 3=x/2, multiply the 2 over and you have 6=x.

Answer:

Ruben ate 6 pieces out of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will understand 3/4 first. If we divide a pie into 4 pieces then Ruben ate 3 pieces of pie.

Further If we divide these 4 and 3 pieces to 8 and 6 then Ruben will eat 6 pieces out of 8.

Now we will show this mathematically

[tex]\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{3\times2}{4\times2}=\frac{6}{8}[/tex]

Ruben ate 6 pieces out of 8.
