Find the equivalent fractions of $\frac{6}{9}$

Equivalent Fraction: The fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value are called equivalent fractions.

We multiply or divide the numerator and denominator of a given fraction by the same number to get an equivalent fraction.

Here HCF($6,9$)$=3$

So, dividing the given fraction by HCF we get the equivalent fraction.
