This is a simple division problem. We can represent it as an equation:
x / 3 = 9
where 'x' is the unknown number we are trying to find.
To solve for 'x', we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:
x / 3 * 3 = 9 * 3
This simplifies to:
x = 27
Therefore, the number that, when divided by 3, equals 9 is 27.
Here's another way to think about it:
We know that division is the opposite of multiplication. So, if we divide a number by 3 and get 9, that means we can multiply 9 by 3 to find the original number.
9 * 3 = 27
This confirms that 27 is the correct answer.
