Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to remember that a ratio is a comparison of two or more units. We can also need to have into account that these units must be in the same units.

We have one of the quantities is 6ft, the other is equal to 78 inches. We can convert 6ft to its equivalent in inches, or 78 inches into its equivalent in feet. Then, we have:

`6ft\cdot(12in)/(1ft)=72in`

Then, we can conclude that the ratio of 6feet (72 inches) to 78 inches is equivalent to:

`\text{Ratio}=(72in)/(78in)=(12)/(13)\Rightarrow Ratio=(12)/(13)`
