I believe it's a ratio problem so it would mean, 4/9's is the same as 36/___
what you do to solve it is multiply 36 by 9 and divide the answer by 4. it will equal 81. And 36/81's is the same as 4/9 just written another way.

Sure. This is about ratios and you are trying to find a number that will maintain the same ratio as in the first example. How many times does 4 go into 36? 9 times. So if you multiply the second number by 9, you get 81. Thus, 4=9 as 36=81.

This is a proportion, which looks like equivalent fractions. 4/9 = 36/?. You have to multiply the 4 by 9 to get 36, so you have to multiply the 9 by 9 to get the missing denominator, which of course is 81. So 4/9 = 36/81.
