Answer:
[tex]\frac{9}{24}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Skills needed: Identify numerator, Multiplying to change fraction
1) First, we need to know what the numerator is. The numerator is the upper number of the fraction, which is separated by the fraction bar FROM the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction).
- In this fraction, 3 would be the numerator as it is the top number.
2) What we need to do here is rewrite the fraction [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] so that the numerator is 9. Let's look at it in another way:
[tex]\frac{3}{8} * \frac{x}{x} = \frac{9}{z}[/tex] (The reason it is [tex]\frac{x}{x}[/tex] is because we want to multiply the original fraction/ratio by 1 so that we do not change it).
3) Now we know that [tex]3 * x=9[/tex], and if we divide both sides by 3, we get:
[tex]x=3[/tex].
This means it would be:
[tex]\frac{3}{8} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{9}{z}[/tex]
Now we need to find [tex]z[/tex]. [tex]z=8*3 = 24[/tex]. [tex]z=24[/tex].
The numerator of our fraction would be 9, and the denominator is 24, making our answer: [tex]\frac{9}{24}[/tex].
Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D (If you have any questions, please comment, and I can try to help!)
