    1. 4/9 x n = 1 1/3

    Simplify 1 1/3 to 4/3.

    Multiply each side by 9 to get rid of the fractions.

    4 x n = 12 (4/3 x 9)

    Divide each side by 4

    n = 3

    2. n x 2.25 = 90

    2.25 is the same as 2 1/4 or 9/4

    n x 9/4 = 9

    Multiply each side by 4 to get rid of the fractions

    n x 9 = 36

    n = 4

    3. n/15 = 120

    Multiply each side by 15

    n = 1600

    4. 180/n = 15

    Multiply each side by n to get rid of the fraction

    180 = 15 n

    Divide both sides by 15

    n = 12

    5. If you use 10 1/2 as the result, this is between 10 & 11.

    This is the same as 21/2, so you could use 3/1 x 7/2 as the two fractions.

    You could also use 42/4 and 7/2 x 6/2 as the fractions.

    Both sets of fractions when multiplied together gives you 10 1/2 as the answer.

    There are other combinations that you could use also.

    6. Similar to #5 except using decimals instead.

    Using 1.5 as the resulting product.

    1.2 x 1.25 = 1.5
