What is the answer to 9:3::49:?

To find the missing term in this analogy, we need to understand the pattern between the provided terms. In this analogy, the format is a ratio or proportion. The first number, 9, is related to the second number, 3, in a specific way. To figure out the relationship, we can divide the first number by the second number. So, 9 divided by 3 is equal to 3.

Now, let's apply the same logic to the second part of the analogy. We have 49 as the first number, and we need to find the second number that relates to it in the same way. Dividing 49 by the same value of 3, we get 16.33. However, since the analogy seems to be asking for an integer, we can round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the answer to the analogy "9:3::49:?" is 16.
