Answer for screen readers

The number that makes the ratio equivalent to ( 1:9 ) is ( 1 ).

Steps to Solve

  1. Set up the ratio equation

We are given the ratio ( 1:9 ), which means we can express this as ( \frac{x}{9} = \frac{1}{9} ) where ( x ) is the unknown number we need to find.

  1. Cross multiply to eliminate the fraction

By cross-multiplying, we have: $$ x \cdot 9 = 1 \cdot 9 $$

This simplifies to: $$ 9x = 9 $$

  1. Solve for ( x )

Now, divide both sides by 9 to isolate ( x ): $$ x = \frac{9}{9} $$

Thus, $$ x = 1 $$

The number that makes the ratio equivalent to ( 1:9 ) is ( 1 ).

More Information

In ratios, maintaining the same relationship between the parts is crucial. Here, the number 1 keeps the ratio consistent with ( 1:9 ).

Tips

  • A common mistake is misinterpreting the question and providing the wrong number for the ratio. Make sure you understand that the ratio is 1 part to 9 parts, which keeps the overall relationship consistent.
