Noah is visiting Mexico and doesn't know his Spanish numbers. On the map he is 3 inches away from his destination. From the road sign ahead he knows that he is 9 miles away from his destination. What scale is the map using? \(1 \, inch \, = \, 3 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 3 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 3 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 6 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 0 \, miles\)
