Answer:
The value of the fractions remain the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Take for instance;
Let the fraction be represented by [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
Multiplying both ends of the fraction by 4 gives [tex]\frac{4 * a}{4 * b}[/tex]
Now, assume that a = 1 and b = 2
The original fraction becomes [tex]\frac{1}{ 2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]
The new fraction becomes [tex]\frac{4 * 1}{4 * 2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4 * 1}{4 * 2} = \frac{4}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4}{8} = 0.5[/tex]
Notice that the values of both fraction are the same;
Conclusively, when the numerator and denominator of a fraction by 4; the value of both fractions remain the same
