To determine which fractions are equivalent to \(\frac{9}{8}\) (which is 98 expressed as a fraction), we will convert each response to a fraction and simplify them if necessary.

  1. \(34\) → This is \(\frac{3}{4}\). Simplifying, we find it's not equal to \(\frac{9}{8}\).

  2. \(3 4\) → This appears to represent the same as above, which is \(\frac{3}{4}\).

  3. \(54\) → This is \(\frac{5}{4}\). This one is equivalent to \(\frac{9}{8}\) after multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2. So, \(\frac{5}{4} \div 1 = \frac{10}{8}\), still not equivalent.

  4. \(5 4\) → This represents \(\frac{5}{4}\) and is already discussed.

  5. \(1816\) → This is \(\frac{18}{16}\). Simplifying, this reduces to \(\frac{9}{8}\).

  6. \(18 16\) → This also refers to \(\frac{18}{16}\) and is equivalent to \(\frac{9}{8}\).

  7. \(1618\) → This is \(\frac{16}{18}\). Simplifying this gives \(\frac{8}{9}\), which is not equivalent to \(\frac{9}{8}\).

  8. \(16 18\) → Again, this is \(\frac{16}{18}\) which simplifies to \(\frac{8}{9}\).

  9. \(2724\) → This is \(\frac{27}{24}\). Simplifying gives \(\frac{9}{8}\), so this is equivalent.

Based on the analysis, the fractions equivalent to \(98\) are:

  • \(\frac{18}{16}\)
  • \(\frac{27}{24}\)

Thus the final responses that are equivalent to 98 are:

  • 1816
  • 2724
