Question

Write a ratio for each word phrase in reduced form.
48 inches to 5 feet.

Answer 1

how many inches in 1 foot anyway?

Answer 2

i think 12

Answer 3

so in 5 feet, there'll be 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 60
or 5 * 12 = 60 inches then

Answer 4

\(\bf {\color{blue}{ 5\cdot \cfrac{12in}{ft}\implies 60in}}
\\ \quad \\ \quad \\

\textit{48 inches to 5 feet}\implies \textit{48 inches to 60 inches}
\\ \quad \\
\implies \cfrac{48}{60}\Leftarrow\textit{divide top and bottom by 12}\)

Answer 5

well... \(\bf {\color{blue}{ 5\cancel{ft}\cdot \cfrac{12in}{\cancel{ft}}\implies 60in}}
\\ \quad \\ \quad \\

\textit{48 inches to 5 feet}\implies \textit{48 inches to 60 inches}
\\ \quad \\
\implies \cfrac{48}{60}\Leftarrow\textit{divide top and bottom by 12}\)
