#4/9# or #(2/3)^2#

Explanation:

You could write #4/9# as #(2/3)^2#, but this isn't really any simpler than the form you have the fraction on already.

See below:

Explanation:

Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors, this is the simplest form we can get it in.

Alternatively, we can convert it to a decimal. When fractions have a denominator of #9#, its decimal version will be the numerator repeated.

#4/9# as a decimal would be equivalent to

#0.bar(4)#

Hope this helps!
