Answer:

To show this, we can simplify both fractions to a common denominator and compare them.

First, we can simplify 8/18 to 4/9 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Then, we can compare 4/9 to 4/9.

Since both fractions are equal, we know that 4/9 is half of 8/18.

Alternatively, we can cross-multiply and simplify to compare the fractions:

4/9 = (1/2) * 8/18

4/9 = 4/9
