Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 6/9 into a fraction with a denominator of 27, we need to find the equivalent fraction with the new denominator. First, we determine the factor by which we need to multiply the original denominator (9) to get the new denominator (27). The factor is 3. Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by the factor (3).

Therefore, the equivalent fraction of 6/9 with a denominator of 27 is 18/27.
Since a fraction is a part of a whole, a whole number can be written as a fraction by writing the whole number in the numerator and 1 in the denominator. The 1 represents that the number was already a whole number and did not need to be divided into parts. Any whole number can be written as a fraction in this way.
