Let's verify if
\(N\)and
\(n\)are equal when
\(N = 2 (1)/(4)\) and
\(n = 6 (8)/(9)\).


\(N = 2 (1)/(4) = (9)/(4)\)


\(n = 6 (8)/(9) = (62)/(9)\)

Upon comparing the values:


\(N = (9)/(4)\) and
\(n = (62)/(9)\)

To check if
\(N\) and
\(n\) are equal:


\((9)/(4) \\eq (62)/(9)\)

Therefore, the equality
\(N = n\) does not hold true with the given values. Let's determine the correct value of
\(n\) when
\(N = 2 (1)/(4)\):

To find the equivalent fraction of
\(2 (1)/(4)\) with a denominator of 9 (as in
\(n = 6 (8)/(9)\)), we can express
\(2 (1)/(4)\) as an improper fraction:


\(2 (1)/(4) = (9)/(4)\)

To make the denominator 9, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:


\((9)/(4) * (2)/(2)=
(18)/(8)\)

Now, let's find the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 9:


\((18)/(8) =
(18 * 9)/(8 * 9)=
(162)/(72)\)

Therefore, when
\(N = 2 (1)/(4)\), the correct equivalent value of \(n\) with the same relation is
\(n = 6 (18)/(72)\).

complete the question

"Two numbers,
\(N\)and
\(n\), are said to be equal. If
\(N = 2 (1)/(4)\) and
\(n = 6 (8)/(9)\), verify whether the equality holds true. If not, determine the correct value of
\(n\) when
\(N = 2 (1)/(4)\) ."
