This isn’t easy due to fractions but you just need to find a common denominator, what goes into 9 evenly and also goes into 4 evenly. 36 works and it is the lowest common denominator. What number multiplied by 9 gets you 36? (36/9) 4. So Emma uses 4/36ths of a gallon of gas to get 9/36ths of the way to work. So you take (4/36) or .25 and multiply that by 9 to get...
