Calculation:
If a, b, and c are numbers where

b \neq 0 and c \neq 0

, then

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot c}

When working with fractions, it is often necessary to express the same fraction in different forms.
To find equivalent forms of a fraction, we can use the Equivalent Fractions Property.
For

- \frac{4}{3}

, we have

- \frac{4}{3} = - \frac{4 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} = - \frac{8}{6}

- \frac{4}{3} = - \frac{4 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 3} = - \frac{12}{9}

- \frac{4}{3} = - \frac{4 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} = - \frac{16}{12}

So, we say that

- \frac{4}{3} and - \frac{8}{6}, - \frac{12}{9}, - \frac{16}{12}

are equivelent fractions.
