Answer 1

6

Explanation:

The ratio of omelets and egg is calculated as:

omelets: egg = 3:9

omelets: egg = 1:3

The number of the omelets made by 18 eggs will be calculated as below:

omelets: egg = 1:3

omelets: 18 = 1:3

omelets = 18 x (1/3)

omelets = 6

Therefore, the number of omelets made by 18 eggs will be 6.
