Question

How many ninths to make 1/3

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ninths needed be taken as 'x'

We need to find the number of ninths needed to make;

`(1)/(3)`,

The equation for this becomes:

`(1)/(9)* x=(1)/(3)\\\\x=(9)/(3)\\\\x=3`

Hence, we need 3 times ninths to get us the fraction of
`(1)/(3)`.

Answer 2

Answer:
3

Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the number of
`(1)/(9)` needed to make
`(1)/(3)` is x

Now, we would need to translate the givens into an equation and then solve for x.
The number of
`(1)/(9)` multiplied by x would give us
`(1)/(3)`

This means that:

`(1)/(9)` * x =
`(1)/(3)`


`(x)/(9)` =
`(1)/(3)`

3x = 9

x =
`(9)/(3)`

x = 3

Hope this helps :)
