Question

Write the following comparison as a ratio reduced to lowest terms.

Answer 1

We know that:

`1feet=12in.`

Therefore:

`13feet=12*13in.`

Then we can rewrite the given ratio as follows:

`173\text{ to }12*13.`

Notice that 173, 12, and 13 are prime numbers, then we cannot reduce the above ratio.

Answer:

`(173)/(156).`
