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
