Answer 1

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: First, we have the fraction 1/3.

Next, the word "of" tells us that we need to multiply.

Lastly, we have 9.

So we will multiply 1/3 x 9.

Whenever you have a fraction without a denominator, it means the exact same thing as putting that fraction over 1.

So 9 is the same thing as 9/1.

So we have 1/3 x 9/1.

When multiplying 2 fractions together, we multiply across the numerators and we also multiply across the denominators.

So 1/3 x 9/1 is 9/3 is 9/3.

Notice however that 9/2 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get the

equivalent fraction 3/1 or just 3.

So 1/3 of 9 is 3.
