Question

Which of the following could represent the question: How many 4/9s are in 6/5 as a multiplication equation?

x*4/9=6/5
x*6/5=4/9
6/5*4/9=x
4/9*6/5=x

Answer 1

Select the third answer listed which states: 6/5 * 9/4

Explanation:

To find how many of a quantity x are in another quantity y, we normally divide in the following fashion:

y divided by x = y ÷ x = y / x

Then we do the same here: 6/5 divided by 4/9 = 6/5 ÷ 4/9 = 6/5 * 9/4

(using the properties of division of fractions as equal to the product of the first one times the reciprocal of the second one)
