A. 6/9 = 2/3. You can check this by dividing both answers. You'll end up with the same number.

Explanation:

When you have a fraction, multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number ( Example : 3/3 ) it is the same as multiplying by '1' and produces an equivalent fraction with different numbers

2/3 * 3/3 = 6/9

2/3 * 2/2 = 4/6
