Answer 1

The required fraction is 1/35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required fraction is given by x

By the given condition,

x : 1/27 = 3/7 : 5/9

or, x / (1/27) = (3/7) / (5/9)

or, x * 27/1 = 3/7 * 9/5

or, x * 27/1 = 27/35

or, x = 27/35 * 1/27

or, x = 1/35

Therefore the required fraction is 1/35.
