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!

Note: Just highlight the key terms in the particular problem then once when you get to your choices , you could check your work in the word problem or you could do process of elimination from what you highlighted in the problem
