What was the ratio of time spent studying Language Arts to studying to Spanish?

47% of the time studying Spanish and 3:2 ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 17 of the total hours minus (-) 9 hours for how many hours are spent on spanish.

2. Divide 17 (total number of hours) by 6 (total number of hours spent on spanish).

3. Times this number by 100 to get the percentage.
