Question

What is the ratio from m to n in 9n= 3m

3/1
1/3
1/6
6/1

Answer 1

3/1

Explanation:

We want the ratio from m to n, or rewritten m/n

9n = 3m

Divide each side by n

9n/n = 3m/n

9 = 3m/n

Now divide each side by 3

9/3 = 3m/3n

3 = m/n

We can divide the 3 by 1 and it is still the same number

3/1 = m/n
