24/36=4*6/4*9=54

It looks like there's a misunderstanding in the calculations you've presented. Let's break down the expression step by step. 1. **Starting with the first part:** \( \frac{24}{36} \) To simplify this fraction, you can divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 12: \[ \frac{24 \div 12}{36 \div 12} = \frac{2}{3} \] 2. **Now let's look at the second part:** \( 4 \times 6 \div 4 \times 9 \) It's important to follow the order of operations (multiplication and division from left to right): - First, evaluate \( 4 \times 6 \): \[ 4 \times 6 = 24 \] - Next, divide by 4: \[ 24 \div 4 = 6 \] - Finally, multiply by 9: \[ 6 \times 9 = 54 \] 3. **So putting it all together:** - The first calculation is \( \frac{24}{36} = \frac{2}{3} \). - The second calculation results in 54. If you intended for these two parts to be equal, they are not. The final results are not equal: \( \frac{2}{3} \) does not equal 54.
