Answer:

12:1 or 12/1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of feet to seconds is given below:


\text{Feet:Seconds}=180\colon15

Next, reduce it to its lowest form by dividing both sides by 15:


\begin{gathered} (180)/(15)\colon(15)/(15) \\ =12\colon1 \\ =(12)/(1) \end{gathered}

The ratio of feet to seconds is 12/1.
