Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures are rectangles. This means that the opposite sides are equal. If 2 figures are similar, it means that the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal. From the information given,

UVWX is similar to QRST. This means that

UV/QR = UW/QS = UX/QT = VW/RS = WX/ST

From the diagram,

UX = VW = 3

UV = WX = 9

QR = ST = 3

QT = RS = 1

Thus, similarity ratio of UVWX to QRST = 9/3

By simplifying,

similarity ratio of UVWX to QRST = 3
