If the number of chickens and the number of ducks sold were the same, find a) the number of chickens he had. b) the number of ducks unsold.  Firstly, we are told that the fraction part of chickens sold is 4/9 whereas the fraction part of ducks sold is 1/3. We can convert 1/3 to an equivalent fraction by multiplying the numerator n the denominator by 4. Thus 4/9 of the sold chickens has the same quantity as 1/3 or 4/12 of the sold ducks.  Have you solved the problem sum?  Here’s the solution:  For tuition enquiries, please contact the friendly Maths tutor @ 8614-2737.  Telegram 📬  https://t.me/tutorkaren The above problem sum is adapted from Solving Challenging Mathematical Problems by Dr Fong.  #maths
