Question

Mr. Barber used 7/9 yard of wire to put up a ceiling fan. He used 1/3 yard of wire to fix a switch. write equivalent fractions with common denominator

Answer 1

7/9 is equivalent to 3/9

Answer 2

Equivalent fractions are the fractions which have the same value even through they look different.

Number of Yard used by Mr. Barber=
`(7)/(9)`

For fixing switch he needs wire =
`(1)/(3)`

Common denominator = 9

So
`(1)/(3)` =
`(1)/(3)* (3)/(3)` = \frac{3}{9}

[tex] \frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{9} are equivalent fractions.

So equivalent fraction with common denominator is \frac{3}{9}
