Express fraction 9/4 as the sum of two or three equal parts. Rewrite the problem as a multiplication equation.
Hoyaaa
as two equal parts
9/8 + 9/8 = 18/8 = 9/4
as three equal parts,
3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 = 9/4
9/8 + 9/8
= 2(9/8) = 9/4
3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4
= 3(3/4) = 9/4
To express the fraction 9/4 as the sum of two equal parts, we need to divide the numerator (9) by the number of parts (2).
9/4 can be expressed as (9/2) + (9/2).
To rewrite the problem as a multiplication equation, we can multiply the numerator (9) by the reciprocal of the denominator (4).
9/4 can be rewritten as 9 x (1/4).
To express the fraction 9/4 as the sum of two or three equal parts, we need to divide the fraction into equal parts and then add them together.
To divide 9/4 into two equal parts, we need to find half of the fraction. We can do this by dividing the numerator (9) by 2 and the denominator (4) by 2.
The result is:
Half of 9/4 = (9/2) / (4/2) = 4 1/2 / 2 = 4 1/2 * 1/2
To divide 9/4 into three equal parts, we need to find one-third of the fraction. We can do this by dividing the numerator (9) by 3 and the denominator (4) by 3.
The result is:
One-third of 9/4 = (9/3) / (4/3) = 3 / (4/3) = 3 * 3/4 = 3 * 3/4
Rewriting the problem as a multiplication equation, we have:
For the sum of two equal parts: 9/4 = 4 1/2 * 1/2
For the sum of three equal parts: 9/4 = 3 * 3/4
