What is the equvalent fraction of 9 over 27 ? you have to divide.

If you are asking what I think you are asking, the correct answer is 1/3.


That would be the answer you get if you simplify 9/27.


The way you simplify a fraction is to divide both the top and the bottom by the largest number that will divide into both numbers exactly (leaving no remainder).


In the case of 9/27, 9 can divide both numbers exactly.  9/9 is, of course, 1.  27/9 is 3.


So once you divide both top and bottom by 9, you get 1/3.


That is the most simplified version of 9/27.
