Explain why the ratio 3 feet over 1 yard has a value of one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz help any one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so 3 feet and 1 yard are really the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess so i dont know for sure lol:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3:1 <--Value of one 6:2 <-- Value of two 9:3 Value of three And so on :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just remember 3 feet = 1 yard and you'll be fine.

hurry plz faster

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

takeing u for ever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at it like this, Lets say: \(a=3feet\) \(b=1 yard\) So we have the ratio: \(\frac{a}{b}\) And since we know that \(a=b\), we can simplify the ratio to \(\frac{a}{a}=1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok look i need to write in wrods for explaniation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So try something like this: "The ratio of three feet over one yard is equal to one because since we know that three feet is the same as a yard, then the fraction is something over itself. And since we know that something over itself is one, we can arrive at the same conclusion"
