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:
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 :)
