Answer 2

Hey there!

Since, both terms goes into
`3`, we have to divide by
`3` on each of your numbers that are in this particular word problem.

So,
`(9)/(3)`
`=3` and
`(15)/(3)`
`= 5`

So, therefore this would be your answer
`\boxed{Answer:C.3:5}`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
