To determine which of the provided ratios is equivalent to \( \frac{3}{2} \), we can compare each option by simplifying or cross-multiplying as needed.

  1. Option 1: \( 1 \)

    • \( 1 \) can be written as \( \frac{1}{1} \).
    • Cross-multiplying: \( 3 \times 1 = 3 \) and \( 2 \times 1 = 2 \)
    • Since \( 3 \neq 2 \), this is not equivalent.
  2. Option 2: \( \frac{9}{4} \)

    • Cross-multiplying: \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \) and \( 2 \times 9 = 18 \)
    • Since \( 12 \neq 18 \), this is not equivalent.
  3. Option 3: \( \frac{2}{3} \)

    • Cross-multiplying: \( 3 \times 2 = 6 \) and \( 2 \times 3 = 6 \)
    • Since \( 6 \neq 6 \), this is not equivalent.
  4. Option 4: \( \frac{9}{6} \)

    • Simplifying \( \frac{9}{6} \) gives \( \frac{3}{2} \) (since \( 9 \div 3 = 3 \) and \( 6 \div 3 = 2 \)).
    • Therefore, this is equivalent to \( \frac{3}{2} \).

The correct answer is \( \frac{9}{6} \).
