Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

Given ratio 12 yard to 20 feet,

To simplify the ratio, we first need to find the common multiples of 12 and 20,

to find the common multiples of 12 and 20, we need to factorize 12 and 20.

On factorization, we get 12= 2*2*3 and 20=2*2*5.

Common multiples of 12 and 20 are that is 4.

And now simplifying the given ratio, 12 yard to 20 feet , that is 12/20=3/5
