Fraction Equality 24De71
1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $\frac{4}{3} = \frac{6}{4.5}$ and check if it is true.
2. **Recall the rule:** Two fractions $\frac{a}{b}$ and $\frac{c}{d}$ are equal if and only if $a \times d = b \times c$.
3. **Apply the cross multiplication:**
$$4 \times 4.5 = 3 \times 6$$
4. **Calculate each side:**
$$4 \times 4.5 = 18$$
$$3 \times 6 = 18$$
5. **Compare results:** Since both sides equal 18, the equation $\frac{4}{3} = \frac{6}{4.5}$ is true.
**Final answer:** The equation is correct; both sides are equal.
