Given:

The fraction strips in Figure $1$.

Figure $1$

Approach:

A ratio, denoted as $\frac{x}{y}$, where $x$ and $y$ are rational numbers, is a comparison of two quantities.

Calculation:

Figure $2$

In figure $2$, the fraction-strip shows that $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{6}{9}$ are equivalent fractions.
