Answer: 5:1 (simplified and in inches)

Explanation:

Let’s convert Angelicas height in inches so all the measurements are the same.

Anglelicas height: 4 ft7 in

OR

Angelicas height: 55 inches

Dolls height: 11 inches

The ratio would be 55:11 but we would need to simplify since both numbers are divisible by a GCD (greatest common denominator)

55 and 11 are both divisible by 11 so the new simplified ratio would be...

5:1
