Answer:

  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It might be easier to start by expressing the ratios with AD as the denominator.

  AD/AC = 2/1   ⇒   AC/AD = 1/2

  AD/AB = 3/1   ⇒   AB/AD = 1/3

From the latter, we have ...

  (AD -AB)/AD = 1 -1/3 = 2/3 = BD/AD

Then the desired ratio is ...

  AC/BD = (AC/AD)/(BD/AD) = (1/2)/(2/3) = (3/6)/(4/6)

  AC/BD = 3/4
