For this you can write the given information as a fraction and then simplify, like this


\begin{gathered} (15)/(30) \\ \text{Simplifying,} \\ (15)/(30)=(15\cdot1)/(15\cdot2)=(1)/(2)\rightarrow\text{ Because the HCF of 15 and 30 is 15} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 1 foot in 2 seconds, or, 1/2 because you don't have to enter the units.
