WILL MEDAL!!! Which ratio correctly compares 5 yards to 6 feet?

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

Where are the ratios?

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

A. 5/18 B. 5/6 C. 5/2 D. 15/2

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

So think about this.

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

1 yard is 3 feet.

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

We have to convert the yards into feet in order to correctly compare them. The equation is 5 x 3.

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

That makes 15. Now that we have yards in feet, we create a ratio, 15/6.

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

Now simplify the ratio.

OpenStudy (appleboy2):

5/2, there's your answer. It's C.

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

THX!
