Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

27^(b/3)/9^(a/2) = (27^(1/3))^b/(9^(1/2))^a = (3^b)/(3^a) = 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-(a-b)) = 3^-3 = 1/3^3 = 1/27

Firlakuza [10]

In order to figure this out, we can set up a proportion and simplify using cross multiplication.

$\frac{units_1}{cost _{1} } =\frac{units_2}{cost _{2} } \\ \\ \frac{6}{5.34} = \frac{1}{x} \\ \\ 6*x=5.34*1 \\ \\ 6x=5.34 \\ \\ x=0.89$
