Answer 1

7 : 13

Explanation:

The smallest measurement unit is inches. So, we need to convert feet to inches. To convert 13 feet to inches, multiply 13 by 12

1 foot = 12 inches

13 feet = 13 *12

= 156 inches

`\sf (84 \ inches)/(13 \ feet)=(84 \ inches)/(156 \ inches)`

`\sf = (12*7)/(12*13)\\\\=(7)/(13)`
