Question

$\text{Find the value of A to make the fraction on}$
$\text{the right hand side equivalent to}\frac{3}{4}$

• A. $18$
• B. $9$
• C. $15$
• D. $12$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $9$

$\text{Let's represent the fraction}\frac{3}{4}$ $\text{in the form of a fraction bar}.$


$\text{To make the other fraction equivalent to}$
$\frac{3}{4},\text{divide the fraction bar}$
$\text{into}12\text{parts and then color the bars}$
$\text{equivalent to it.}$


$\text{This shows that}\frac{9}{12}\text{is equivalent}$ $\text{to}\frac{3}{4}.$

Another way of finding the equivalent fraction is:

$\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{3\times 3}{3\times 4}=\frac{9}{12}$

$\text{Hence, the value of}A\text{is}9.$
