Find the numerator for the equivalent fraction.
4/9 = ? / 63
To find the numerator for the equivalent fraction to 4/9, we need to set up a proportion between the two fractions.
The first step is to write the proportion using the given fractions:
4/9 = x/63
To find the numerator (x), we can cross-multiply the proportion. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and vice versa.
So, we have:
4 * 63 = 9 * x
Multiplying on both sides:
252 = 9x
Now, to find x (the numerator), we divide both sides of the equation by 9:
252/9 = x
Simplifying the division:
28 = x
Therefore, the numerator for the equivalent fraction is 28.
Therefore, the equivalent fraction to 4/9 in terms of 63 is 28/63.
4/9 = x/63
cross multiply
9*x= 4*63
9x=252
x= 252/9
