Question

Find a fraction that is equivalent to 1.5 over 9 with a whole number in both numerator and the denominator

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that equivalent fractions are  defined as fractions whose numerators and denominator are different but both fractions represent the same value.

To find an equivalent fraction, we must multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number (Which must be a nonzero whole number).

In this case, to find a fraction equivalent to $\frac{1.5}{9}$,  with a whole number in both numerator and the denominator, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2. Then you get:

$\frac{1.5*2}{9*2}=\frac{3}{18}$

Reducing the fraction, you get:

$=\frac{1}{6}$
