Answer: C. 5.4 Blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

5 bags = 3 blocks

Set variable

Let x be the number of blocks

Constructure proportional equation

[tex]\frac{3}{5} } ~=~\frac{x}{9}[/tex]

Cross multiply the fraction

[tex](3)~*~(9)~=~(5)~*~(x)[/tex]

[tex]27~=~5x[/tex]

Divide 5 on both sides

[tex]27~/~5~=~5x~/~5[/tex]

[tex]\Large\boxed{x=5.4~blocks}[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)
