Explanation:

Part A: Let see what number we can multiply by 3 to get 13.5


3x = 13.5


x = 4.5

so our answer is 4.5

Part B : Set up the proportion

3 and 13.5 correspond with each other and the question mark side corresponds with the 9 cm side.

let x = the side we are trying to find


(3)/(x) = (13.5)/(9)

Cross multiply


27 = 13.5x


x = 2

so our answer is 2.
