Read the passage by a man discussing his country, Senegal, immediately after independence.
“Forty years ago, we had nothing—no doctors, no engineers, no writers. We had no university. We thought a flag and a national anthem were enough for independence. . . . That is now a thing of the past. One has to count on the people. And despite all the problems, success for us is a certainty. Every day we’re working hard, because we’re dreaming of a better quality of life.”
—Ousmane Sembene, filmmaker

To determine which fractions are equivalent to the whole number 3, we need to find fractions with a numerator equal to 3 and a denominator equal to 1. This is because any whole number can be written as a fraction with a numerator equal to the whole number and a denominator equal to 1.
Let's analyze each option:
A. 9/3 = 3: This fraction does not have a numerator equal to 3, so it is not equivalent to the whole number 3.
B. 3/3 = 3: This fraction has a numerator equal to 3 and a denominator equal to 3. Since the numerator and denominator are both equal to 3, this fraction is equivalent to the whole number 3.
C. 3/1 = 3: This fraction has a numerator equal to 3 and a denominator equal to 1. Since the numerator is equal to 3 and the denominator is equal to 1, this fraction is equivalent to the whole number 3.
D. 1/3 = 3: This fraction does not have a numerator equal to 3, so it is not equivalent to the whole number 3.
Therefore, the fractions that are equivalent to the whole number 3 are options B and C.
