No.

Answer 2

Ok is the answer D?

Answer 3

First, you have to figure out what fraction "6 out of 9" is.

Since Ms. Sue said that B is incorrect, it leaves me with only one answer.

"6 out of 9" is 6/9 as a fraction.

This, when simplified, is 2/3.

I believe you made two errors when you got 3/2 and 3.

First error:

Instead of 6/9, I believe you did 9/6, which equals 3/2. 9/6 however, is not the fraction used. Therefore, B is incorrect.

Second error:

For this one, I believe you mistakenly put a 3 instead of 6 in "9/6". This would be 9/3. When simplified, this is 3. However, "9/3" is not the fraction used. Therefore, this is also incorrect.

I hope this helps! :)

P.S. In about 20 minutes, I will have to go, and I will probably help you tomorrow.
