Question

Find four equivalent fractions of the given fraction:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Answer 1

Finding equivalent fractions:

To obtain equivalent fractions of a fraction, we have to either multiply or divide the same number in both the numerator and denominator.

The given fraction is $\frac{2}{9}$.

Let us multiply $2$ in both the numerator and denominator $=\frac{2\times 2}{9\times 2}=\frac{4}{18}$

So, $\frac{4}{18}$ is an equivalent fraction of $\frac{2}{9}$.

Siimilarly multiply $3,4,5$ in both the numerator and denominator one by one to obtain $3$ more equivalent fractions of $\frac{2}{9}$.

Multiplying with $3$ $=\frac{2\times 3}{9\times 3}=\frac{6}{27}$

Multiplying with $4$ $=\frac{2\times 4}{9\times 4}=\frac{8}{36}$

Multiplying with $5$ $=\frac{2\times 5}{9\times 5}=\frac{10}{45}$

Hence, $\frac{4}{18}$, $\frac{6}{27}$, $\frac{8}{36}$, $\frac{10}{45}$ are the four equivalent fractions of $\frac{2}{9}$.
