Answer:

6 presents / minute

Explanation:

We can represent the given information in a ratio:

amount of present wrapped : minutes it took to wrap

2/3 : 1/9

Then, we can multiply both sides by 9 (the reciprocal of 1/9) so that the right side of the ratio is 1 minute.

presents : minutes

2/3 : 1/9

× 9 × 9

6 : 1

So, Patricia can wrap 6 presents in 1 minute.
