also, (btw this one relates with the problem )

_x9=_

1.)
1 gift takes (1/9)hour. This can be written as the rate.
We can make a proportion and relate the old number of gifts (1) to the new number of gifts (represented by unknown variable x) and the old time (1/9 hour) to the new time (3 hours). 
Then cross multiply and solve for x.


2.) I think this is just a restatement of the last step.
3 * 9 = 27
