1/9

Answer 2

What fraction of 27 is 3 is the same as asking 27 divided by what number is equal to three. Writing the question as an equation, we get: 27 / x = 3, where is x is the unknown number. Remembering our algebra, we can multiply both sides of the equation by x. Our new equation looks like
x*(27/x)=3x or 27=3x. Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get 27/3 = x, or x = 9. So now we plug 9 back into the original equation and get 27/9=3. If we rewrite our original equation, we can obtain 27 * (1/9) = 3. So, 1/9th is the fraction of 27 that equals 3.

Answer 10

A fraction of something means that "something is a part of the whole." In this case, how many parts of the who is three? The whole is 27, the part is three? How many times does three go into 27? The answer is 9. . . 3 is 1/9th of the whole.

Answer 11

Since fractions can often deal with groups, you would take the largest number (27) and make groups of 3.

So, if you used dots to make groups, it might look like this:
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (you should see 9 groups of 3)

3 dots = 1 group and there are 9 groups total. So what fraction is 3? 1 out of 9, or 1/9.

Hope that makes sense!
