Answer:

t = 9

Explanation:

We know that 1/3 of t is 3, so to find t, we have to multiply 3 x 3 because we want to find 3/3 or 1 of t. When we multiply 3 x 3, we get t = 9

OR

We could also solve it like this-

1/3 × t = 3

1/3 goes to the other side so it becomes:
t = (3)/(1/3) \\

Then, it become multiplication so:
t = 3 * 3/1

So t is 9

Hope this helps!
