3/6 simplified is 1/2. To compare the fractions, you multiply the fractions to get the least common multiple, which in this case is 18 (2 x 9 is 18.) I would multiply 1/2 times 9, which would be 9/18. I would then multiply 2/9 by 2 to get the bottom number to 18, which would be 4/18. You can see that 4/18 and 9/18 are not the same. This is why they are not equivalent.

Number of people who attended the first basketball game = 840

Percent increase for last game = 30%

Total people who attended last game = (100+30)% = 130% of first game

Number of people who attended last game = $\frac{130}{100}*840$
