The Easy Guide: How to write fractions

Question
In Mark's collection of antique bottles, 4/9 of the bottles are dark green. Write three equivalent fractions for 4/9.




Solution
First, we need to write 4/9 in three different forms.
Second, multiple the fraction with 1 or its equivalent, such as 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4 and so on, to arrive at three different fractions which, when simplified, are still equal to 4/9.

1. 4/9 * 2/2 = 4*2/9*2 = 8/18
2. 4/9 * 3/3 = 4*3/9*3 = 12/27
3. 4/9 * 4/4 = 4*4/9*4 = 16/36
