Answer 1

Two equivalent rational numbers are:-
8/18&12/27

Answer 2

Given,

A rational number, 4/9

To find,

The two equivalent rational numbers to 4/9.

Solution,

The two equivalent rational numbers to 4/9 will be 8/18 and 12/27.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

The word 'equivalent' can be roughly mean 'equal to'. So, the equivalent rational numbers can be found by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same rational number.

Now, to make it easy, we can multiply by 2 and 3.

4×2/9×2 = 8/18

4×3/9×3 = 12/27

(Note: when we will find the simplest form of these rational numbers we will get 4/9.)

Hence, the two equivalent rational numbers to 4/9 are 8/18 and 12/27.
