Since there are no variables in the denominator, you can find the LCD for the entire problem, which is 12, and multiply both sides by the LCD:

t%2F3+-+t%2F2+%3E+3%2F4
12%2A%28t%2F3%29+-+12%2A%28t%2F2%29+%3E+12%2A%283%2F4%29
4t+-6t+%3E+9
-2t+%3E+9

Remember, when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality!!
t+%3C+-9%2F2
