Answer:

D. 9n = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need one adult for every 9 students, we can represent that as 9n:

if n is the number of adults.

Because we have 27 students, the equation 9n = 27 works.

A better way of formatting the equation is:

n = 27/9

Because it directly shows what the number of adults is, but with some reformatting, it is clearly the same equation.
