What divided by 4/9 equals 2/9?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 4/9 equals 2/9?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (4/9) = (2/9)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by multiplying (4/9) on both sides like this:

(x / (4/9)) • 4/9 = (2/9) • (4/9)

(x / (4/9)) • 4/9 leaves x and (2/9) • (4/9) is 8/81 which means we end up with this x = 8/81. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 4/9 equals 2/9?" is as follows:

8/81

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 8/81 for x in this equation x / (4/9) = (2/9), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(8/81) / (4/9) = (2/9)
