Why is 3 over 8 not equvalent to 4 over 9?

There is no rule in algebra that says "If equals are added to the numerator and denominator,

then the value of the fraction is unchanged."

If it worked, then 0/2 would be equal to 1/3 , which is patently ridiculous.

So you're left with no good reason to expect them to be equivalent.
