Answer: \(\frac{3}{9}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{1}{3}\)

\(\frac{2}{9}\) not equivalent to \(\frac{1}{3}\)


Step-by-step explanation:

In a bag there are 9 marbles. A boy paint 3 of them and wrote numbers on 2 marbles.

Then the fraction of marbles painted to the total marbles= \(\frac{3}{9}=\frac{3}{3\times3}=\frac{1}{3}\)

Here, \(\frac{3}{9}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{1}{3}\)

The fraction of marbles which have number on them to the total marbles

\(=\frac{2}{9}\) which is not equivalent to \(\frac{1}{3}\)
