Question

• List the steps that you could use to
solve?
x/3 = 4/9

Answer 1

x = 4/3

Explanation:

multiply both sides by 3 then simplify the answer

Answer 2

The answer would be 1 1/3

Explanation:

The steps to solve this is to multiply each denominator by the other fraction.

This would look like X * 9 = 4 * 3

We do this to cancel each fraction out.

Then the product of the equation looks like this

9x = 12

Then we divide by 9 on each side and your answer is

X = 9/12

Since 9 can't be evenly distributed in 12 we simplify the fraction

4/3

Well we now have a improper fraction. The mixed number version is 1 1/3
