One smaller and one larger square side by side.

Chaz draws a square with sides equal to 4 units, then he dilates the square so the sides are equal to 6 units. Chaz writes a fraction in lowest terms to express the relationship between the area of the original square and the dilated square, with the numerator expressing the area of the dilated square. What is that fraction?

Original area = 4^2 = 16. Dilated area = 6^2 = 36. Fraction = 36/16 = 9/4 = 2 1/4. So the answer is 2 1/4.
