In the given problem, apply your knowledge in algebraic and basic mathematics specially in ratio, fraction and simplifying equation.

Ratio define as the quantitative relation between of two numbers and/or amounts that shows how times one value contained within the other.

In this case, the 2⁄3 is the ratio of rise to run and it's being

In this case, the 2⁄3 is the ratio of rise to run and it's being proportional to another value.

Let x is the run (vertical).

2/3 = rise / run = 9/x

2/3 = 9/x

2x = 27

x = 27/2

x = 13.5

Answer: 13.5
