Question

Write the ratio 16 inches to 7 feet as a fraction in simplest form. Use pencil and paper. Explain why you get the same result whether you convert feet to inches or convert inches to feet. Why might you prefer one way over the​ other?

Answer 1

You will get the same answer when you convert feet to inches or inches to feet because the value for each unit will still be the same. For example if something is 60 inches and you covert it to 5 feet, it still has the same numerical value.
