Question

An engineer designs a structure that is is 21 feet long and 3

yards high. What is the ratio of length to height?

Answer 1

7:3

Explanation:

Convert one of the measurements to the other before attempting to solve the question.

1 yard = 3 feet

Multiply both sides by 3 to get:

3 yards = 9 feet

Therefore the ratio would be

21:9

Simplify to 7:3 length to height.
