Question

What are two fractions equivalent to 4 1/2

Answer 1

`(18)/(4)\text{ and }(27)/(6)`

Step-by-step explanation

We have the fraction 4 1/2.

Let us convert it from mixed fraction to improper fraction:

`4(1)/(2)\text{ = }(9)/(2)`

Now, to find equivalent fractions to this, we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by any integer.

Let us use 2 and 3:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{9\cdot\text{ 2}}{2\cdot\text{ 2}}\text{ = }(18)/(4) \\ and \\ \frac{9\cdot\text{ 3}}{2\cdot\text{ 3}}\text{ = }(27)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Those are two equivalent fractions to 4 1/2.
