Question

Write three different improper fractions that equal 4 1/2.(hint: find equivalent fractions)

Answer 1

$4 \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{9}{2}$

$\dfrac{9}{2} = \dfrac{9 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \dfrac{18}{4}$

$\dfrac{9}{2} = \dfrac{9 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \dfrac{27}{6}$

$\dfrac{9}{2} = \dfrac{9 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \dfrac{36}{8}$

Answer 2

9/2 because 4 times 2 is 8, plus the one in the numerator makes it 9/2. Then multiply that by 2 and you get another one, 18/4. Then multiply 9/2 by 3 and you get the third one 27/6.
