Question

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement. Compare in inches 4 feet to 60 inches

Answer 1

4:5

Explanation:

Recall that 12 inches =1 foot

Therefore 4 feet = 12*4=48 inches

`(4ft)/(60 \: inch) = (48 \: inches)/(60 \: inches) = (4 * 12)/(5 * 12) = (4)/(5)`

The ratio of 4 feet to 60 inches is 4:5

This ratio is in the reduced form, we cannot simplify further.
