​

Answer 1

Answer:

18/9 and 24/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know what a rational number is.

Any number that can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers, p and q are co-primes and q≠0.

Since the natural number 2 can be written as 2/1, satisfying the above conditions, 2 is a rational number.

Now, to write 2 with numerator 18, we need to find 18/2 first. Since 18/2 is 9, we need to multiply 2/1 by 9/9.

So, we have (2*9)/(1*9) = 18/9 = 2.

Now, we have to write 2 with denominator as 12.

Now let's find 12/1. Since 12/1 = 12, we need to multiply 2/1 by 12/12.

So, we have (2*12)/(1*12) = 24/12 = 2.
