To determine the value of \( n \) that will make the ratio \( \frac{54}{30} = n \), you can set up the equation:
\[ 54 = 30n \]
To solve for \( n \), divide both sides by \( 30 \):
\[ n = \frac{54}{30} \]
Now, simplify \( \frac{54}{30} \):
- Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 54 and 30, which is 6.
- Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
\[ n = \frac{54 \div 6}{30 \div 6} = \frac{9}{5} \]
Therefore, the value of \( n \) that makes the ratios equivalent is:
\[ n = \frac{9}{5} \]
