Answer:
(3)/(9) is equivalent to
(1)/(3)


(2)/(9) not equivalent to
(1)/(3)


Explanation:

In a bag there are 9 marbles. A boy paint 3 of them and wrote numbers on 2 marbles.

Then the fraction of marbles painted to the total marbles=
(3)/(9)=(3)/(3*3)=(1)/(3)

Here,
(3)/(9) is equivalent to
(1)/(3)

The fraction of marbles which have number on them to the total marbles


=(2)/(9) which is not equivalent to
(1)/(3)
