The other person said 3/9. While this is correct, you have to simplify the fraction. Both numbers are divisible by 3... 3/3=1 and 9/3=3. So, the answer would be 1/3.

I think the answer is 3/9 because there is 9 students running but only 3 of them win medals so I think it would be 3/9 or maybe something else
