Answer:

9 ÷ 16

Explanation:

You want two numbers that have the ratio 9/16.

Division

The fraction 9/16 indicates division of 9 by 16:


\boxed{9}/\boxed{16}=(9)/(16)

In more general terms, you have ...

(any multiple of 9) ÷ (the same multiple of 16) = 9/16

For example, when the multiple is 3, this is ...

27 ÷ 48 = 9/16

A fraction bar and a division symbol (÷) mean the same thing:

9 ÷ 16 = 9/16

Additional comment

You need to be careful with grouping. As far as the order of operations is concerned, the divisor in the quotient a÷b is the first symbol or token after the division sign. In this simple example, it is 'b'. If you write a÷bc, it is equivalent to the product (a÷b)·c.
