Question

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement.

height of a female: 5ft 6in the same females stride length: 2ft 3in

Answer 1

To express the height to stride length ratio, convert both measurements to inches, resulting in a ratio of 66 inches to 27 inches. This simplifies to 22:9 when both sides are divided by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

• To write the ratio of the female's height to her stride length, first convert both measurements to the same unit. T
• he height is 5 feet 6 inches, which is 66 inches (since 1 foot equals 12 inches, 5 feet equals 60 inches and thus 5 feet 6 inches is 60 + 6 = 66 inches).
• The stride length is 2 feet 3 inches, which is 27 inches (since 2 feet is 24 inches and 3 additional inches make it 27 inches).
• Now, write the ratio using their inch measurements: 66 inches (height) : 27 inches (stride length).
• If you need to simplify this ratio, both numbers are divisible by 3, so dividing both sides by 3 we get 22 : 9.
