What is 1/9 of 9?

  1. 1

  2. 3

  3. 896

  4. 9

The correct answer is: 1

To determine what 1/9 of 9 is, we can use the concept of fractions. When you take a fraction of a number, you are essentially dividing that number by the denominator of the fraction and then multiplying by the numerator. In this case, starting with 9, we divide it by 9: 9 ÷ 9 = 1. Since the numerator is 1, we multiply by 1: 1 × 1 = 1. Thus, 1/9 of 9 equals 1. This demonstrates that the calculation aligns perfectly with the definition of a fraction, confirming that the correct answer is indeed 1.
