The statement "3 by 4 is 1 by 3" is not mathematically correct if interpreted in the usual sense of comparing fractions or ratios.

- \( \frac{3}{4} \neq \frac{1}{3} \)

To check this, we can compare the two fractions:

\[
\frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333
\]

As you can see, \( 0.75 \neq 0.333 \), so the two fractions are not equal.
