Answer: The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation: You would multiply 9x1/3 which would give you 3. If you want to understand even better here's how to do so: Put 3(the answer that you got from multiplying 9x1/3) into the fraction 1/3 as 1. In other words,  it would look something like this 3/3. Then, just multiply the two numbers 3x3 and that equals 9, the number you started with.

Considering the provided information in the given question, we have :

  • Total seashells Saniyah have = 9
  • Number of seashells Saniyah gave to her sister = [tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{3} [/tex] of total.

We need to find how many seashells did Saniyah have left.

⇒ Number of seashells Saniyah have left = Total seashells – Number of seashells she gave to her sister

⇒ [tex] \sf {Left \: seashells = 9 - \Bigg \lgroup \dfrac{1}{3} \times 9 \Bigg \rgroup } [/tex]

⇒ [tex] \sf {Left \: seashells = 9 - \Bigg \lgroup 1 \times 3 \Bigg \rgroup } [/tex]

⇒ Left seashells = 9 – 3

⇒ Left seashells = 6

Therefore, Saniyah have left [tex] \bf {6 \: seashells } [/tex].
