Thanks Ms. Sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need 1 more Ms. Sue
Do you see what I did to get those three fractions?
Ms. Sue multiplied the numerator and denominator by 2. So, 2 times 2 equals 4, and 2 times 9 equals 18. That is the first fraction. Then, Ms. Sue multiplied the numerator and denominator by 3. So, 2 times 3 equals 6, and 9 times 3 equals 27. That would also be the second fraction. To get the third fraction above, Ms. Sue multiplied the numerator and denominator by 4. 2 times 4 equals 8 and 9 times 4 equals 36, so that equals the fraction above.

In equation form for the first fraction, it would look like this:

2/9*2/2 = 4/18

In equation form for the second fraction, it would look like this:

2/9*3/3 = 6/27

In equation form for the third fraction, it would look like this:

2/9*4/4 = 8/36

So, with what you know now, how do you get the fourth fraction?
If you want a fourth fraction, it would be 10/45.
