All that you are doing is trying to fiigure out the Frequency of all the tally marks!!
3a + b = 54...when b = 9
3a + 9 = 54
3a = 54 - 9
3a = 45
a = 45/3
a = 15 <===
5/6 is closest to 1 because it it 1/6 away from 1 and is 5/6 away from 0 and is 2/6 away from 1/2 (referring 1/2 as 3/6) Hope this helps!
I honestly don’t know what the answer is but I’m sorry
