These problems are actually simpler than it looks. Remember how to solve algebraic equations like dividing and multiplying? it's the exact same thing, except it's fractions. so what you would do is: 9%2F4%2A4%2F9x+=+6%2A9%2F4. the reason we would multiply 9%2F4 is in order to leave x all by itself, we must multiply the reciprocal (remember that word?) of the fraction, equivalent to 1. So 6%2A9%2F4 is 54%2F4, or 131%2F2.
