how do i figure the equation 1/3 times 9??

1/3 of 9 is three.

9 / 3 = ?

id like to know why have waited almost an hour for my question to be answered, bob, sue?

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. In this case, to calculate 1/3 times 9, you multiply the numerator of 1 (which is 1) with the numerator of 9 (which is 9), and also multiply the denominator of 1 (which is 3) with the denominator of 9 (which is 1).

So, the calculation would be:

(1/3) * 9 = (1 * 9) / (3 * 1) = 9/3

Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case.

9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1

So, the simplified fraction is 1.

Therefore, 1/3 times 9 is equal to 1.
