Answer 2

Given fraction is $\frac{48}{72}$

Now we have to find out the equivalent fraction of the given fraction with denominator $9$.

Let the numerator be $x$

The equivalent fraction is $\frac{x}{9} ...(1)$

To know the numerator we have to write it as,

$\frac{48}{72} =\frac{x}{9}$

$\frac{6\times8}{9\times8} =\frac{x}{9}$

The value $8$ in both numerator and denominator cancels we get

$\frac{6}{9} =\frac{x}{9}$

The value $9$ in both the denominators get cancelled we get,

$x=6$

Substitute $x=6$ in equation (1) we get,

$\frac{6}{9}$

Therefore, the equivalent fraction of $\frac{48}{72}$ is $\frac{6}{9}$
