$36\times$ Undefined control sequence \ square $=48\times 9$
$3\times 3\times 2\times 2\times$ Undefined control sequence \ square $=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3\times 3$
Undefined control sequence \ square $=12$
Hence, the required fraction $\frac{9}{12}$
b) $\frac{36}{48}=\frac{\square }{4}$
$36\times 4=48\times$ Undefined control sequence \ square
$3\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 1=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times$ Undefined control sequence \ square
$3=$ Undefined control sequence \ square
