Final answer:

To find what percent of 1 foot various inch measurements are, divide the number of inches by 12 (the total number of inches in 1 foot) and multiply by 100. For example, 3 inches is 25% of 1 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what percent of 1 foot various inch measurements represent, you would use the fact that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

  • For 3 inches: (3 inches / 12 inches) × 100 = 25%
  • For 4 inches: (4 inches / 12 inches) × 100 = 33.33%
  • For 6 inches: (6 inches / 12 inches) × 100 = 50%
  • For 9 inches: (9 inches / 12 inches) × 100 = 75%

These percentages represent the ratio of the measurement in inches to one foot, expressed as a percentage.
