Answer:

1:6 or 1/6

Explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches.

3 feet = 3 * 12 = 36 inches.

Therefore, we have the ratio 6:36 (6/36).

Simplifying 6:36 gives us 1:6 or 1/6.

Hope this helps.

First, you must make them the same unit of measurment. Make 3 feet into 36 inches.
Next, you get the ratio of 6:36 , and simplify it down to 1:6 which is your answer.
Hope this helps!
