Answer 1

9:6

Explanation:

The ratio is simplified 3:2, which would be for every 3 cups of pancake mix there is 2 cups of milk. In this situation for each batch, Hector wants to make pancakes and he has to have 9 cups of pancake mix for every 6 cups of milk. Which leads to 9:6 ratio.

Answer 2

1.5

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality is simply the ratio between two items. In this case, we want the ratio of pancake mix to milk.

We have 9 cups of pancake milk and 6 cups of milk, so our ratio will be:

9 cups : 6 cups ⇒ 3 cups : 2 cups

3:2 can be written as the fraction 3/2, which can be simplified to the decimal 1.5.

Hope this helps!
