Convert "inches" to "feet" here. 30 in 1 ft 30
--------- = --------- = --------- ft
1 12 in 12

Now find the ratio of (30 ft / 12) to 9 ft:

30 ft
------
12 30
==== = ----------- Reduce this fraction; one way would be to
9 ft 12(9) write 30/9 as 10/3:

30 10
------- = ------------ = 5/18 (answer)
12(9) 12(3)
