ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

are you saying 5 feet = 0.625 inch ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well i divided 8 by 5 and i got 1.6 and thought that was it, i really don't know

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ahh okay that is a good try!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it is wrong because you forgot to convert feet to inches

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me ask you again : 5 feet = how many inches ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry ab

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent! next take the ratio 60 : 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{60}{8}=\frac{15}{2} \]

cancel 4 in both numbers and get 15 : 2
