Answer

$\frac{81}{36x}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{9}{4x}= \frac{}{36x}$ First, compare the denominators: $36x \div 4x =9$ The denominator of the second fraction is 9 times greater than the first fraction. The numerator of the second fraction must therefore also be 9 times greater than the first fraction, since the two fractions are equal. So, multiplying the first numerator by 9 gives: $9\times 9= 81$ So, $\frac{9}{4x}= \frac{81}{36x}$
