7/9 is equivalent to 3/9

Equivalent fractions are the fractions which have the same value even through they look different.

Number of Yard used by Mr. Barber=[tex] \frac{7}{9} [/tex]

For fixing switch he needs wire =[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Common denominator = 9

So [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{3} [/tex] = \frac{3}{9}

[tex] \frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{9} are equivalent fractions.

So equivalent fraction with common denominator is \frac{3}{9}
